Steep and rooty with catch berms in the corners.. Not for the fainthearted

I meant what the second guy said, description is perfect. I would add, it’s not that techy, most of it is a built track with bermed switchbacks, but some corners could be tricky as there are some drops / roots/ rocks and I ride it dry in excellent condition
VickiG
The write up and comments are scarier than the actual trails But what the first guy said is bang on.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
