Starts of old school type trail, melding into descending forest singletrack. Lower portion recently rebuilt w/mini x to renew tread. Once you get off the ridge it is a non-technical fun brake burner to the bottom. Not sure why other user have rated this black, other than remoteness and length of ride.

Access Info

USFS rd. Best to shuttle it but it's a long45 min each way shuttle.
