AKA Hoover Junction according to BLM map. One of the best sections Drops you down some lost technical rocky sections, including a little steep rock drop. A rocky creek bed will test your ability to negotiate between some big rocks, and a short climb up through tough terrain will test your climbing through the loose stuff.

 Fresh rain yesterday. Close to ideal/tacky, but tough to read traction vs slick in a few spots.

        The technical fun is limited to a very short section. All the hardest bits can be rolled or avoided, I would put this at easier than the Brian Head Blues if you ride there. The hardest part is the peddle uphill at the end with super loose dirt on a steep hill.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
