Starts out as a nice, buff trail. After a mile or two, there are a lot of tough creek crossings and when I rode it in 2010 there were a lot of trees down. This was from a recent blowdown and will likely be cleaned up sooner or later. The trail gets rougher and less defined in spots the further in you go. From what I saw, I would say it's more of an "adventure" ride. I'm not positive, but I think this trail is on the chopping block for MTBs with the new rules coming down. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
