Description

One of the best and most challenging rocky and technical singletracks in the area. Some sections are expert level and tricky; expect to walk bits unless you're very skilled. Getting to it requires a lot of climbing. Beware of poison oak too.

First time going down Joplin, after the grind up Harding Truck Trail. Very steep, technical, and loose. Lots of hike-a-bike sections, but still fun.

Consistent overgrowth and fallen trees. Very loose and dry. You'll need Aaron Gwin or Lopes like skills to ride the duration in current conditions.
