Land OwnerDeer Valley Resort
The top of Thieves Forest is very technical. It is a bit easier then Fire Swamp, but with a couple options at the top making close. There are some very difficult rocky sections and rooty drops into steep rocky turns that make this difficult up top. The trail tends to slowly get more tame as you progress down the mountain from the exposed rocks to more tight rooty areas through the trees.

Nice improvements as of the reopening 2026. Added flow and catch berms. Also a new optional drop. Super fun!

Was super excited to ride TF before the season ended since it's been closed for so long. Started going down it and bellowed out a loud "NOOOOOOO" when I saw the first drop has completely been removed and replaced with a smooth and clean roll. Sad. :'(
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
