Description

This trail can be ridden in either direction, although clockwise is more common. It starts with a very steep climb with multiple hike-a-bike sections, then continues to climb gradually with roots and some rocks to navigate. There are a handful of wooden bridges over gulches as well. Around two miles in, the main downhill section starts. The descent is steep and fast but not overly technical. The trail mostly levels off before connecting back to itself.
