This short, sporty trail starts off at the upper end rather mellow and then drops and picks up the pace. There's a few technical, chunky drops/steps and lots of roots. It's listed as a BLACK DIAMOND, but with the exception of the couple techy bits it's mainly a BLUE SQUARE trail.

This trail was just ok. Was expecting more tech and more excitement but it was just meh. There’s ones short tech stretch but that’s it. There’s a few small climbs mixed in. Not worth it . Not a black either , should just be a blue. That one short tech stretch doesn’t make it that, timid riders can easily walk that part.

Pretty well hidden trail. Reccomend taking powerline to snow forest. Technical rock garden and some tricky tree roots to get by. It's a one way only. Go after a rain storm or durning pretty awesome meadow to see
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
