      Not well maintain, a lot of brake bumps towards the end on the switchbacks. Not safe for beginners.

      Rode yesterday. 9/10/2020 still very dry and a lot of loose dirt. But not a bad trail

      Awesome trail! Rode this with my “Scott 900 RC” XC mtb with 2.25 Maxxis aspen tires and had a blast! Very fast and flowy !

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
