Description

It's worth noting that Hobbit 3 is one of the few trails in the West Mag area that haven't been clearcut as part of the giant 2012 deforestation / fuels cleanup project.

It's generally an intermediate trail, though it has one climb that is quite steep and somewhat loose. It's tough enough to challenge most riders with a high heart rate, although it's not particularly technically challenging.
