 Rutted out with soft sand. Difficult to ride up. Fairly overgrown and hard to see, could be sketch downhill

 Still pretty rutted out. Not too overgrown at the top. The bottom is totally overgrown and hard to see your line.

 It’s pretty rutted out. Probably more fun going down, wouldn’t recommend going up.

      More of a hiking trail - super overgrown, rutted, etc. Not worth climb out!

      It mostly a downhill trail. I took it uphill and regretted it! Too much hike a bike going up. But I’m pretty sure it should be fun going down.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
