      Yeah, this really isn't an MTB trail. I removed the MTB activity type from this trail. It's a great trail to run though!

      Agreed. Not rideable. Lots of walking should be rated red.

      This trail is really bad. Not rideable. Too steep, too much loose rocks. I hiked with my bike entire time

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
