Extremely technical with lots of twists and turns, as well as extremely steep punchy uphills. You'll feel like you're going in circles.

      This trail is terrible imo. Overgrown to the point that it's unrideable. Not only that but I got poison oak on my legs, arms and part of my face riding this trail.

      Avoid at all costs....TERRIBLE
