A couple muddy areas from recent snow melt. We were able to get around them ok, but it would be better to wait a little.

      Really fun trail. It is very new and quite loamy still. It was just built recently but is a very fun trail to go down. Once a good rain comes in it will be fantastic. Pretty flowy and not too steep so most beginner and intermediate riders would be comfortable on it

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
