The bottom section has seen some work in recent years to add in some switch backs. Some beautiful sections through a meadow, but a lot of this trail is very steep and can be pretty washed out. Also as typical with this area of AF, dirtbikes can rut it out in the shady areas. Best down or bring a granny gear.

This trail is a blast downhill, one of my favorite downhill trails, really fast with several root drops that you can double up on and one wheel trap that is fun hit. Some of the washed out sections have big berms and you can flow down them.

Access Info

Access from the Tibble Fork Reservoir. Also common to shuttle to the summit parking lot and ride down from Ridge 157
