Physical RatingHard
This section of Rawhide has some really difficult and steep turns. A few are a mix of rock and off angle roots, while one is a sheer drop into a wood work that is basically there to keep you from falling down the mountain. A few really steep consecutive droppy sections, and the resort is calling this a double diamond. I think it is more like a single diamond, but more difficult than the lower section
