Very steep with some exposure. Really cool creek crossings and log ride at the end. Trail is called upgrade because its old enough to have v-brake equipped bikes on track, which would need upgraded brakes afterwards. Very steep.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      we built this trail in the late 90's, its basically a chute all the way to the creek crossing with a few compressions to slow you down just enough after having your brakes locked the whole way, lol. I'm surprised its back from the dead.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
