Great trail! The side trail to the top has the most amazing views. One washout that I shouldn’t have crossed but did. The trail had everything from rocks, to mud, to water.

Trail was rather easy / flowing with some technical sections. The wash out was a bit sketchy and had to use a makeshift bridge get over it. I would definitely recommend 35’s or bigger for this trail unless you wanna be on skids the whole time
