Blue Blossom is a fairly smooth single track that is mostly downhill with a few short and steep uphill sections. There are a handful of tight corners and some rocky, rutted straightaways that are pretty easy to navigate. There is a small creek crossing that can usually be ridden without getting wet. There is a small drop off of a root across the trail that can be gone around.
