      Cool trail. Solid Intermediate Blue IMO. There is really no tricky parts other than a couple tight corners that slow the flow. Bogus has this as a black on their maps. I would adamantly disagree. I did honestly enjoy it though as more of a “natural” style trail.

      Super fun with some tight corners can get pretty rowdy.

      Not the ideal trail for downhill. The corners are too tight and flat to hold the speed you can get. Ride G19 for a more fun downhill experience.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
