this is a fun trail, perfect to initiate a rider to a new level, lots of roots, rocks, turns, but nothing big, no steep climbs and descends, just a lovely rough ride.. At the entries there will be a RED marker, this is how Santos marks Blk Ds..

      Much to difficult for beginners. Too rocky. Daughter took a nasty fall on the rocks. Going to stick with greens and blues out here

      I can do this black. Even though I’m not very good and not in the best of shape. Super fun.

      Trail has changed in the past few months after the Fat Tire Festival, new area added that includes terrain full of large off camber bumps

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
