Land Owner
Starts on a really easy uphill section, but it then turns into a rocky path with a couple of difficult descents. Somewhat technical trail with a lot of rocks (some round, some sharp). Quite slippery when wet (avoid).

Very nice long route. Good variety of challenges. #78 is by far the most difficult part. There is no high...

If you're on a hardtail, and looking for a good shit kicking, this trail is for you. Rocks. So many rocks. Riding West to East (downhill) is challenging but fun. A few technical descents that require thoughtful line choice. I find riding East to West borderline intolerable. Just endless rocky, technical climbing.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
