      Decent trail, like the downhill going counterclockwise. It has several rocks you can catch some air on.

      Nice views - other than that, just a trial 👍

      Ok, but would be a better ride counter clockwise. Clockwise it's a long uphill and short steep downhill, but counter clockwise it's a short harder climb followed by a more fun longer decent

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
