Steep climb/descent followed by a pretty smooth singletrack. Turns into fireroad at the top.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB 1 Rating: No obstacles exist. Wide enough. Can be ridden confidently solo.
Due to recent trail work this trail is downgraded from aMTB2 to aMTB1. Still slight potential for drama but most adaptive riders are good to go! Thank you SDMBA!
