Review: Its a good trail if you want to test your endurance. There is a lot of climbing going up. And good downhill coming down with all sorts of twists and turns. I would not go on this trail if you have ANY problems with your bike. Check all your parts because this trail is rocky and its bound to knock out a loose screw. Also, I would not ride it if you cant control your bike on loose gravel. There are a lot of good views from this trail and at the bottem, a series of cool creeks to cool you down!	Overall Rating:
