It starts great, single track, etc. but then seems to be about 75% double track jeep road. Lot of climbing for little reward. beautiful country.

Very hard up hill!!!! I had to push my bike most of the way up, but the down hill is great. Ride with someone that knows the trail so that you do not get lost. I ended up going down the wrong side of the mountain and was stranded about 40 miles away from my car. I plan to go back. It is a good trail and fun if you know where you were going.

the trail is great downhill but i would start at the bottom and climb so that afterwards i could come back down to the car.

Good blend of single and double track. Ride to the lookout is well worth the climb. Great ride down! Would go again.
