      Rode the east loop, they used every inch of the forest to make this trail wind all the way through. It is a rather easy ride with some punchy climbs, nothing terribly technical about it. Forest, forest, and more forest, undulating up and down to make the stream crossings. In the fall, the leaves make it difficult to see fallen branches and rocks, but it seems to ride just fine anyway.

      Very enjoyable trail. Several fairly steep rocky climbs that a stronger rider than I would have no trouble with. Lots of sections with good flow. Trail was fine just a day and a half after a rain.

      Great XC trail, good cardio workout. The first part is technical and the last half is fast downhill.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
