Trail opened - July 18th 2020 - Please use this downhill with caution, as this trail was built for experienced riders only. DO NOT ride around or walk over the entrance filter (the large rock). If you cannot ride over the boulder then this trail is more technical than you should attempt. Ride Biopace instead. Ride Down Hill ONLY. Consider walking it the 1st time.

      I drive for an hour just for this one. Everything else here becomes boring.

      Anyone know how the conditions for this trail are this year?
      Lacking
      I've always skipped the entrance boulder(although I do ride the boulder rows) and I can ride this trail pretty fast easily. There's no features like that on the trail and it's a different skillset to get up onto a big boulder than anything on the trail

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
