Trail Overview
This trail delivers a high-engagement experience, trading high-speed flats for a winding route full of tight, technical switchbacks. The elevation changes provide a great workout for your clutch work and braking precision as you snake through the terrain. Along the way, the trail opens into a scenic plateau that serves as a prime spot for setting up a remote camp or stopping for a photoshoot against the rugged backdrop. The ride concludes with a descent through a narrow, overgrown exit where you'll need to pick your way through encroaching brush on the downhill.

Difficulty
The difficulty is medium to high. The steep switchbacks and the technical downhill exit require consistent focus and confident low-speed handling. Be prepared to navigate tighter lines where the vegetation has partially reclaimed the trail.
