Great DH tech trail, has several rock roll sections lots of rooty sections and you can get going as fast as you want to scream down if you up for the challenge. Close to a double black if there is moisture on those roots.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Hadn't ridden this for a few years, nice to see it's not totally blown out. Too bad this trail is so short, cause it's a fun one. Throw it in the mix if you're doing laps.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
