Fun loamy trail that you can really get some speed on coming down. Just gotta be careful since some use it as an uphill. Tight singletrack and fun tiny jumps you can use to pop off of and add to the fun.

Watch out for black bear, I encountered a big ass black bear right before the up hill after the corner today on my bike alittle too close for comfort. Bring your bear spray... make noises.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
