Rode this one against the grain, in the uphill direction. Really fun technical climbing through a very scenic canyon. The climb in the middle started with a bit of exposure and was a bit steep but totally doable.
DrHog
The most technical trail I found in the system, and well worth working into my ride. Cool views coming down through the canyon.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
