Beginner 30%, intermediate 50 % and advanced 20%, 1.2 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional singletrack that is has some technical sections an intermediate rider will have problems with and a beginner rider will be walking. The trail tread is mostly packed dirt mixed with rock with a few slickrock sections. There is no preferred direction, but the trail seems to ride easier going clockwise.
