A quick descent to the brook followed with a climb up to the overlook. The climb is plenty tough with steep non-technical sections. Trail is mostly smooth and fast and includes berms and a couple jumps.

A few berms and decent jumps in the beginning that even a novice like me can handle. Gradual climb up the hill up to the overlook. It has a lot of loose dirt and small rocks that might make it hard to keep traction going up. Beautiful view at the top on a clear day. Going back down, the trail has great flow with some small jump features and berms for smoother cornering. Highly recommend checking breaks before attempting the downhill. Overall one of my favorite trails in the area.
