Trees down all over. Route finding is almost impossible now.

      The Descent has over 200-250 trees accross. I would call it bushwack. It was painful and we were running (no bike). I would say stay off of that trail if you expect any riding.

      This trail has potential to be very good once it sees more traffic/development, but currently has had very little traffic, so expect so careful route finding and a very "new trail" feel. The ascent as shown in Trail Forks starts on narrow single track but then mostly follows roads to the top of the ski hill. The descent is all single track back to RTM. A bit of an adventure right now, but looking forward to see how it turns out with time. Thanks to whomever is putting all the work into it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
