Chunky enough Located at the top of Fort Valley Trail System in Flagstaff, there are several sections with car sized boulders, and narrow passages between them! This alone makes it a worthy excursion - just don't kid yourself that you'll be shredding this trail at mach-chicken (!)...it's not gonna happen. But, if you like the challenge of descending through epic boulder fields in the forest - then this trail's for you! In order to access this trail I had to ride Newham Trail, a black, and it had some steep and chunderous sections, as well as a cool overlook and big rock outcropping/overhang on West Secret.

Stats are misleading. It’s a moto trail. No flow at any speed, lots of pedaling. Much better gnar trails in the area unless slow speed bouncing over round rocks is your thing.

Some parts of this tech descent are good, mostly it's just awkward.
[Reply]

Old school rock tech jank. It’s rad if that’s your thing. I love it and if you give it a chance, give it some time to figure it out it sort of flows in that old school jank sort of way but it’s not easy!
[Reply]

If you can not handle the tech,ride another trail.This Trail is awesome
[Reply]

Great ride if you like fun, rocky tech that never gets too steep and has good flow.
[Reply]

Awesome moto trail. Fun, technical chunky trail that is super fun to ride up, if thats your thing. I wouldn't ride this on my mountain bike. More of a motorcycle trail, for sure. Bring a skid plate and solid clutch control or a Rekluse! Its a pretty technical trail! Lots of rock hopping!
