Some embedded rocks and roots that keep it spicy, but a fairly approachable black-rated tech trail. This trail has a fair number of pedally sections across bridges, as well as a final punchy climb up to the work road.

      Trail has some quick fun tech, but be aware that there is a climb from the bottom up to Off The Top which you'll regret bringing a DH bike on.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
