The most difficult trail at Brown County State park, this trail combines technical sections and flow. Short punchy climbs with exposed roots and rocks make even the most experienced riders work for every mile. Don't give up on it after your first ride. Many of the technical sections are ridable with practice.

Disclaimer

Steep climbs with some exposure.
