TTFs on TrailBridge, Jump, Ladder Bridge, Rock Face
A flowy option that starts in a clear cut and ends down by the start of the lowest section of PhD. Other than one rock face and a few optional jumps, there isn't anything too technical on the trail. The easiest option in the Rutherford area, but still provides a few zesty moments.
Access Info
Climb the road, hanging left at the fork to Middle PhD, but not climbing as far as Diesel Wolf.
This trail is unsanctioned.

One of those trail that is definitely gets better the more you ride it imo. If you're hitting all the side jumps, it's a hard black. and congrats !

If you're looking for a blue trail, despite it's rating, THIS IS NOT IT. While there are some fun flowy sections of this trail, on between are some mandatory slabs that couldn't be considered anything less than double black.
Even the ridearounds are high level.
Having this as a blue rated trail is simply a ridiculous choice.
Would be better to rate this as a hard black with 1 double black section..
It's difficult even to find a way to walk down.
If you're doing this trail for the first time, expect it to ride more on the black/double rating.

It’s a super fan trail, totally worth the climb! Just BEWARE it is not a blue, but I believe they put that rating based on the other trails in the area. As of today, all jumps can be done but number 2, 3 and 5 are in need of some maintenance, especially #5.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
