Starts right off with a short creek crossing then its back to buff singletrack with some weaving through the trees and small roots. In the spring the trail has sections that become a bit flooded so expect some boggy sections where the trail comes too close to the creek. This trail ups the difficulty a bit with some short punchy sections with additional creek crossings.

Some of the slopes have exposure and the trail falls away a bit. These sections can be dangerous.
