The original technical trail with lots of side stunts to play on. From log rides to elevated bridges, this is a trail to build lots of skills. Rideable both ways.

Access Info

Junction at the Perseverance Creek Bridge or from Two and a Juice.

      Nice trail to climb! A few punchy bits, but nothing very long and all doable on a motor-free bicycle. Enough tall roots and tight twists to keep my attention -proper mtbing. Some skinnies are not in good shape but ridearounds are present and obvious.

      I should have listened to the other reviewers. This is not a bike friendly trail. Some insane steeps that are unrideable even on E-mtb. The skinnies are in poor shape and look really dangerous. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

      most of the trail is pretty basic rooty riding (plus some climbs), until the lower section with some nice skinnies

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
