Trail 9 - 50 Inch

Trail Overview

The southern portion of Trail 9 is designated for vehicles 50" or less, and is of extreme difficulty. This trail is directional north to south and should not be ridden in the uphill direction. The north end starts off easy with flat embedded rock layers, but it quickly ramps up intensity with a technical descent made of uneven rock layers, ruts, and shelves for the entire way back to the staging area. It zig zags down the mountainside with steep rocky switchbacks, often with off-camber rock layers in the turns. There is an extreme rock section about halfway through that goes back uphill, which is a 100-foot-long section of uneven rock outcropping that riders will have to navigate through, picking their best line choice. It has uneven gaps between the layers of rocks, and shelves up to a couple feet tall. There are several more steep technical ascents with rutted embedded rock layers and boulders. The obstacles don't let up - the entire descent is full of embedded rock shelves. Loose rocks lead into a small rocky stream crossing, and watch out for low hanging branches that you have to duck for.
