Trail Overview

This is one of the most fun trails out here--nothing but single-track. Some areas are a little wider than others. It has its fair share of rocks, sand, and roots with some great elevation changes. There are creek crossings and you might find some mud as well. Expect some fun switchbacks. It is a seasonal area.

Some small snow patches. A lot of downed trees blocking sections of the trail. Otherwise good conditions.

Very technical in sections, don’t take novice riders here unless they are ready for rock gardens, exposed single track and deeper whoops. Several fallen trees across trail not yet cut away, creative lines around are mandatory. Total blast, gorgeous area and properly challenging zone.
