Been use by horses so the steepest part are loose gravel/sand/rock impossible to go up…. Needed to walk 2-3 times. Enjoyable still. One tree down between parking and Highway, but rideable. Same for downhill, horses made some part dangerous because you’re not aware of sudden loose sand! The trail on the other side of the highway are not visible, overgrown I believe!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
