This can be a fast track if you ride all sections. It never feels like you are climbing long hills on the trail. There are a few roots throughout the trail. There are some areas that have rock gardens and some areas that have tight corners. The trail is in the middle of nowhere so be careful when looking for it. If it is wet, be careful on this trail.
