    Berm, Rock Garden

One of the top rides in the area Ride through several different ecosystems from high-alpine aspens, to pine forests, to high desert rocks, and oaks. Starts with a mixed up and down section which has a few hundred feet of climbing and a small creek crossing. Once you hit the top, it's miles of downhill to enjoy! Connects to the Maple Grove trail near the midpoint. Overall has a mix of flow and technical sections with a few rock gardens, but nothing too gnarly. Big berms in the middle of nowhere is a great feature!

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Black Rating: Advanced obstacles exist, some trail obstructions.

Trail is 26 to 34 inches wide and mostly on camber, with the exception of a significant off camber rock at the intersection with Maple Grove. Overall, there’s a lot of technical moves with a fair amount of rocky and narrow sections, with some fairly significant exposure at all times.

I would not recommend a 36in wide bike on this trail.
