 Honestly the trail needs rerouted in a small section. Part of a stream runs through the trail for a few hundred feet.

      Fun trail.. a bit overgrown in a few areas, but overall, a good mixture of tech and flow.

      Fun trails ( lower and upper SAP Tree) with some great elevation gain. I started from the start of Lower SAP TREE, from city creek/Kinport rd at the tail end of a thunderstorm. Trails are very much overgrown with vegetation and small branches, but was incredibly beautiful. Would be hard to open up legs on the downhill with how overgrown it is.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
