The trail is singletrack cut into the side of the hill with some tight switchbacks, short but steep climbs and descents and some rocky and sandy areas. Trail is intermediate due to the slight difficulty of the switchbacks and steep climbs with some loose rocks and sand. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
