Generally smooth with a few rocky climbs that are tough to clean. Use Wild Burro to climb back up after descending Ridgeline.

      Gnomes did a great job raking the trail. Couple spots are a tough clean, but nice trail.

      I tried to get to Ridgeline trail using Wild Burrow trail starting next to the Ritz Carlton hotel to avoid going through the Honeybee trail system, which would make the ride 30 plus miles. Don't do it. The first 2 miles are easy and then it turns into a mile of hell. Big boulder rocky and steep. Only 1% of mountain bike riders could ride it and then they would need to carry their bikes half way or more. Not a biking trail. Go through Honeybee like I plan to do in the future.

      I rode clockwise as part of the Loop>Ridgeline route. Well built and scenic end to the loop.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
