 Overall, really solid trail. There is some bridges that will need to work eventually, but overall it was a blast.

 Sorry I am not a big fan of this trail. This is not a black diamond trail at all. It is very smooth, second gear most of the way then hard left or...

      “Labyrinth” might be a better name. Tech features aside this trail could be the answer to the question “What is the maximum number of sharp corners can you pack into an acre of land? If you enjoy challenges like “can you stay upright while travelling 0.01 MPH around a sharp corner full of wet roots?” this is the trail for you. You will get that experience many times.
      The narrow stream crossings and other tech-ish features could be great practice for that sort of thing.
      Parts of the trail are in beautiful deep tree over with ponds, etc. Which can make for a lovely walk.

      I enjoyed this a lot. It is pretty long and tech features mostly pretty basic, which was good for me. Similar to Tapeworm/Silkworm in Renton, but a bit flatter.

      Not really a lot of fun. Twists and turns are excessive. Very hard to find a flow. It's not really a hard trail but just very difficult to get momentum.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
