Steep, straight, and fast. Starts out with a little up and down, and then goes down the ridge for a super fast descent. You'll loose elevation in a hurry. If you hate yourself you can also climb up it.

I agree with the other comment. Only ride cw. Not a great descent though. I feel like a lot of altitude was wasted.

If you ride this trail- only do it in a clockwise direction- it’s almost unclimbable counter clockwise!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
