Trail Overview
This 4.5-mile-long single track through the Black Hills is full of challenging rocky sections, and loose climbs, and goes through challenging scree fields. It's also super scenic, with big rock boulders lining the trail. There are lots of easy sections that are fast and flowy and easy in between the harder sections, but the majority is rocky. There are lots of embedded rocks, with sections full of small boulders. You ride through a short scree field, but it is made up of big chunks of scree that require some skill to get through all the rocks. There are several small logs down as well, but they are all rideable.
