 Great trail, rode it for the first time today, It's a little techy in some spots that could maybe make it a black, but for the most part it's a blue, Also this trail could use a haircut, it is slightly overgrown

 If you go the way suggested the beginning has a sorta jump line, it's only like 3/4 mile but fast as hell, and the climb after isn't bad. Then the downhill kicks in again, but with a flowier feel, only after you climb back out.

 Midpen really should widen the narrowest part. It’s NOT safe to ride next to a cliff. Fun descent and best with a dropper

 If you're coming from the Skeggs parking lot, I prefer this trail over the Fir Trail if you are planning on riding down Resolution or down lower Tafoni, which seems to be missing from Trail Forks. It's a little more fun and interesting, but still the width of a fire road.
