Description

Over 50% of this trail has been newly rebuilt professionally. The old trail was hand cut and so faint it was more of a wayfinding mission than a mountain bike ride. The new trail has some awesome features -- particularly a mini "cave" that you ride through (big boulders leaning together) to a cool log skinny.

There are some machine-built jumps and other interesting rock features. Definitely a challenging climb, but doable and very rewarding.

Plenty of opportunities for air, with well thought-out landings.

Disappointing. Lots of potential but builders refused to tap into the natural fall line.
