Overview
The trail is about 10 miles long, out and back. There are plenty of hikers\u2014be considerate and control your speed!<br><br>As a beginner I was scared by the few (4) downhill sections because they are short and steep (at least for someone starting mountain biking). I followed a more experienced biker and had no issue with them, but I would not recommend a beginner child to start here, while the adults, once they overcome fear, will love it.<br><br>The trail is mostly flat terrain and does not require a high level of fitness (although it may be hard for the couch potatoes out there).<br><br>Overall, I really liked it, and being a beginner, I appreciated that the downhill is short and manageable.
