Closest thing to black in this area but most of this is blue or light blue...but in the middle of the trail is a mostly black side slanted rock that isn't that hard but you will pay for it with a short painful tumble if you lose balance. Other than that, there are 1 or 2 steeper than expected switchbacks and an optional blackish moderately steep rock roll that can be a bit sketchy for an intermediate rider since taking the wrong line can send you over the bars or right into one of the poorly placed trees at the bottom. Good trail overall.

Mislabeled on the trail maps at the park as an intermediate which is closer to what it seems. Some technical parts to the trail.

Love this trail, but I’m not sure it’s deserving of a black diamond. Feels more like an intermediate trail.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
