      The east part of this trail running W to E was kinda fun, but the rest was super loose and sandy. This area of the TCF seems to get a lot of horse traffic and the trails were churned up loose sand in a lot of spots. I rode the west side of this trail in both directions but with how loose it was it’s nothing to write home about. Curious if with more moisture these trails firm up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
