This Trail borders on being a blue Trail mostly due to the a few weird rock features and being a ledge the entire time... but after going all the way up Belcher and then all the way down upper and middle Longhorn and climbing out of the Gully only to do more climbing on this Trail to get back to the main trail, it feels more like a double black...LOL. No it's just a blue-green with decent berms but kind of sucks in the winter because half the trail melts really slowly and can get muddy.

Whip fast, fun and flowy with very small drops and rocks. This trail is a great way to finish off a ride, after blasting down Longhorn Tr. It has nice, banked turns, which add to the flow and allow you to torch down the hill at top speed. I would highly recommend this trail- it is a nice way to link Longhorn back up to Belcher Hill.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
