      I think mid and lower are more fun! More tech than flow :-)

      Rode downhill. Starts off straight forward and progresses into more technical switchbacks with in-trail smooth-ish boulders to navigate. Easy to hop off of you're not feeling that, or take a few minutes to session and find your preferred line. Trail has a little sand. Great trail for refining downhill switchbacks. In good shape.

      very fun downhill with some nice tech sections in the middle. very good trail to improve technique on given its variety in terrain from right rocky switchbacks to some fast flowy section at the beginning

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
