 It's pretty rough! Lots of ruts from recent rain.

 Not recommended. It got way too muddy as the day warmed up.

 Great as usual. Looser than I'd expect.

      Realy great technical riding. Black diamond may be a little low for the first section. I would probably put that as double black and the rest of the trail is blue. There are some cool jumps at the end too! Enjoy this great technical challenge with great views of Palisade.

      Local law enforcement has been threatening to issue tickets for crossing the private property and railroad land to get here. Haven't heard of it happening, but a ranger / land manager came into the bike shop to warn us.

      UNRIDABLE in direction shown. And in the opposite direction, it'd have to be a TRIPLE black diamond trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
