Description

The trail begins with some steeper switchbacks, finally leveling out. The trail is really smooth until it hits some pretty technical exposure after a rock step that novice riders will want to walk but experienced riders will love. After the rocky exposure, the trail continues with some more surprising tech with another rocky section.
