There’s a nice hut up the top of the track overlooking the town and quite decent downhill. Worth the ride.

First half of trail is very raw. second half is more current and maintained. we went from the trail head of throwing copper and instead of going down we did blazing saddles until it goes onto throwing copper, recommended. very scenic.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
