Relentlessly technical and balancy, like the rest of the Boy Scout Trails. Best ridden north to south. From the north, a series of mostly smooth, hairpin switchbacks ascend the mesa. With good line choice, you can get up to speed in a few places on the descent to the road. If you like flow trails look elsewhere.
