Most of the trail is easy singletrack, there are are some sections that are rocky with some nice ups and downs. The rock sections are a bit like a slab of limestone.

      Short but definitely a legitimate mountain bike trail.

      Fun little exercise ride. Super surprised and happy to find this. Some fun flowy sections. Especially the Outer Limit trail. Mostly flat but super fast in either direction. Counter clockwise there are some great spots for good air too

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
