Nice long intermediate single track. There are some short rock gardens at the top and there are tight switch backs throughout. This trail is definitely a classic

Trail is in great shape considering the traffic and recent rains. Not sure why anyone would complain. If an old keg of fat can climb the whole trail to cocktail without putting a foot down… the trail is running really well.

There is no YouTube video that will show you current conditions, this is now a full black trail and should be updated. Uphill is a complete disaster as you will pedal strike inside most ruts. Since the trail is narrow you have no choice but to get inside the rut but you should be fine with not pedal striking the edges. The corners lost significant amount of dirt and it just exposed rock after the rains and even experienced bikers will walk them. Too bad, this used to be so flowy.
