Smooth and wide, but long and steep
This is Kal Park's classic lung-buster. Not technical at all, but a test of your fitness level.
It's all worth it when you get to the Lookout.

reporter 60% dry and great. The rest wet or muddy. Walk the sections that need to be walked. Would love to see the horses to stop messing up the trails.
