      Great beginner trail. Smooth and flowy. Ignore reviews from 2019-20. Much improvement since then

      Not worth a ride. Has HUGE potential to be a great warmup run but lacking any sort of safe flow attributes (lots of loose shale, sand, brake bumps, non-bermed turns). If this got a few tons of dirt and every corner hugged you like the new trails, then got maintained, it would be awesome. We actually almost left after one run on this trail. The conditions of the others weren't any better, but they at least were interesting enough to explore. Huge potential (and great work to GL for the shape of everything) but seems like the support to properly maintain the dirt isn't there. I would NEVER bring a beginner/novice rider here.

      Kinda boring even as a warm up, and as of 5/27/19 it needs some trail maintenance. Giant chucks of rocks. I would barely call this a flow trail

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
