Fun loop, good for beginners. I am out of shape and was able to make the fire access road climb without too much struggle. The descent is as fast or slow as you want it to be without much obstacles. Recommend wearing some sort of lower leg protection as there are single track sections with tons of overgrown bushes and weeds
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
