I've been meaning to write this ride report for a while... Rode this last September and as a novice mountain biker, this trail is much harder than listed on this site. The climb is not technical but long. There was more hike a bike than anticipated and although some of the decent was easy, the majority of it was really difficult. A lot of the trail consisted of small loose rock and steep descending. I had to walk my bike a lot more than I would have liked. This is a great ride but be aware that it's more for advanced riders. The rating for this trail on a different site is black diamond.
