Starts with an easy uphill climb, relatively tame with one small kicker near the start. On the start of the downhill there's some steep challenging single track with small rock sections. This section is very tight and technical, I would rate this part of the trail as a "Black Diamond". The rest of the trail is relatively easy, with switchbacks that line the side of the hill.
