Nice singletrack ascent, with several technically difficult features. Also a super fun descent. Note that Charcoal Road is uphill-only (why?), so the only legal way to descend the trail is to climb it first.

      There's a sign at the bottom that says uphill only for bikes. Not sure why, since we passed several descenders during our climb and had no problems.

      This is a great and interesting climb out so consider taking it CW. It is gradual enough with some thought but short sections.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
