      I rode this trail for the first time today. It is great, a nice flowy trail.

      Note that DMBA has NOT advocated for cyclists and this is now an ORTA trail. This means horses and hikers will be using this trail more often. This trail is NOT horse friendly and will not survive the environmental damage caused by hooves. Extremely disappointed that this was allowed to happen.

      Riders, and especially hikers, need to remember this is ONE WAY DOWNHILL still. Hikers really shouldn't be on this trail ever. Too many riders are going up Sliders from the new trail - just stop!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
