If you're looking to upgrade your technical ability, this is the place! I've never met anyone who "cleaned" this trail...it's tough, technical, and hot!

This trail is much longer than than advertised, it will take you to Butts Canyon Road in Pope valley if you take it all the way. Ther are also a number of other "options" to do different rides, but most of these cross private property and you better take a local with. You can't beat this trail for a pain full uphill, and an extremely technical hellof a downhill.
