      Rocks get pretty slick after rains for a couple days. 3 sectios, longest is about 150 feet, just stay on the pedals and keep the cadence and speed up so ya don't spin out. In wet weather the mud caking in tires will make the climb alot harder due to less traction. Have fun.

      Ups and downs with a few large rocky areas in the mx. Great shady area to cool off after the long switchback climb up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
