      This is definitely not a beginner trail. It is mostly a long combination of steep tight switchbacks. The few flat bits where you get some speed include passing through some narrow spaces between trees.

      It is pretty fun if you like challenging climbs.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
