      This trail is really fun in reverse. It starts with a somewhat steep technical section with lots of small drops. Then there is a long moderate climb and then it opens up into a fast flowy section. It's a great starter trail for intermediate riders looking for more techy terrain.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
