A fun trail that ridden one way is a fast descending trail full of tight corners, roots and trees. Ridden in reverse, it is mostly uphill and a great workout. The trail received its name from the bamboo forest located in the middle of it.

      Unsustainable trail and maintenance. The state and et al do little to no work on these trails aside maybe trimming.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
