Not to much climbing involved and well marked for those who are not fimilar with the area.
Reviewed by: Pivot_Head Reviewed on: 06/02/2009 Overall: Technical: Climbing: Freeride: Scenery/Wildlife: Flow: Report inappropriate review	Not a technically demanding trail, but it still has a respectable fun factor. A few short climbs and one out-of-the-creek climb will have you clamoring for more, so do two loops!

Reviewed by: Jack Reviewed on: 03/03/2009 Overall: Technical: Climbing: Freeride: Scenery/Wildlife: Flow: Not Rated Report inappropriate review	The trail is a lot of fun, especially considering it's pretty short. Not super technical and only one or two short tough climbs. There's a half dozen or so opportunities to catch a little air... nothing huge, but fun.

Reviewed by: TANK Reviewed on: 02/28/2009 Overall: Technical: Climbing: Freeride: Scenery/Wildlife: Flow: Not Rated Report inappropriate review	I like this trail. Not a lot to it, just a good solid ride. I think one loop is about 6-7 miles. Several creek crossings, roots, a few rocks. Good place to car pool with a group, do this and San Lee is a good work out.
