Description

The beginning of the route is at the bottom of the valley with a nice shaded section. Later on, the trail widens at a short, steep fireroad going uphill. The partial downhill singletrack is sandy and technical, not easy for biking; this section may require some hike-a-bike.

Slightly overgrown, probably the most technical trail nearby. There are some double black features with bypasses that are single black 3.5mi

Lots of climbing for very little downhill. Lots of walking in the beginning, very steep, but really great workout.
