Trail Ridden: Every few months
Recommended Route:
from the top to the bottom- all DH

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Tuttle loop, buckland ridge, Parrish Creek

Review:

The trail starts with a crazy steep section, very insane. Don't ride too slow or you won't be able to clear some of the rocks and ruts. Don't wuss out. The trail has smooth fast sections and hardcore rock gardens. I think it's one of the funnest trails up there. It would be very, very hard to ride up. Only crazy DHers should ride down, unless you don't mind walking your bike.

Review:

I rode up Holbrook last year to the very top. If you're up to it, you can ride up and then North, and then back down to the 'B'. That would be an all day ride, though.

This trail is probably not a good one for most bikers. You can in fact ride most of it, but it is very rocky and steep. BTW, if you look, you might find my cell-phone on the trail there somewhere.

I'd give it 1 star except it is quite an interesting one.

It's not very ridable, more pushing your bike than riding it.
