Fantastic fast, bermy trail. You get a lot of fun for your climb, about 20 minutes worth. Riders of all skill levels can enjoy this trail. Aside from a few technical areas, the squid line is perfect for a beginner rider who is comfortable with singletrack trails, while for more experienced riders, the trail is fast and flowy, with enough variety to keep it interesting. Features several short climbs and a longer climb at about the halfway point; The trail surface is narrow in places, and is very long for new riders, especially if combined with riding up the road.
