Trail Overview

This trail is very accurately described in its name. Lots of erosion, off-camber, and easy inclines. It's 4.8 miles through a beautiful healthy forest. You do hit a little patch of downed timber, but 80% of it is healthy. Our average speed was just under 5 mph, but not because of difficulty, just enjoying the view.
