The trail includes a good variety of steep uphills and downhills with plenty of sand, rocks, logs, and roots to get in the way. Mastery of this trail would require great technique skills and endurance. For the inexperienced, you can push your bike up some hills, carefully walk down others, take breaks, and allow more experienced riders to pass.

Great trail, old school cool... Not much has changed here in a long time.. and that's ok. Great cc ride with enough challenge to keep things interesting for an advanced rider but nothing a beginner/low intermediate rider couldn't handle or walk the tougher bits

It's mostly flowey woods track with some occasional technical climbing and some bigger patches of annoyingly shifty sand.

Awesome trail. Didn't do the whole thing but the two small loops I did we're fantastic. Some great smooth berms and some more technical root and rock sections. Very flowy. Would be great for a hard tail.
Oh and decent amount of sand so watch out for that.
