Really fun trail that leads to some so-so trails. Lots of steep and rocky ups and downs. Tight and twisty at times and steep and challenging at others. Really engaging, challenging and fun. Really excellent trail. More like a dark blue then a black IMO cause I rode it and I am not that great a rider. But it was really challenging to me
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
