      Not nearly as nice as the bottom half of this system however this place has a LOT of potential.

      I will repeat myself a few times, since its an area issue and not a specific trail issue. All of these trails are in various states of disrepair. You can find evidence of previous attempts to make improvements (like decomposing jumps, berms & some rotting ladders). There is serious potential here, but the trails look abandoned. I often lost track of the actual trails, there were trees down, multiple lines, very confusing. Great potential and I still had fun.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
