Trail Overview

This is a dirt-bike-only route with lots of loose rock (rounded and shale-like), roots, and sharp rock stuck in the ground yet protruding out of the ground. There are some sharp rock climbs and descents that can kick you around and technical inclines/declines through rock formations. Beautiful lookouts and switchbacks, and a few narrow areas with drop-offs on both sides but nothing that should really bother someone with a fear of heights. These "drop off" sections are still wide areas to ride where one could tip and not have any issues.
