Rowdy trail best ridden from either direction, & fun to climb as well. Technical switchback section at the top is great and keeps you on your toes.

      That top section is so fun. I wish it lasted longer, I don’t wanna have to do brohemian to ride slick rock. After the top, just straight up and down for a pretty long time, then it gets more fun

      The top section is super fun. Nice rock face and big rock rolls. The middle of it is a little boring it’s just up and down, then it gets kinda flowy after the brohemian rhapsody junction

      The top part of the trail has some good technical boulder/rock switchbacks. I would say most of the trail is a blue. Im solid “dark blue” rider on a capable bike and had no problems. All in all I liked it. Getting to it was a trek though.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
