The trail is very well maintained. Horses, foot, Mtn. bike, and MC only. Most of the ride has you traversing the side of the mountain with occasional big rocks and tight switchbacks. The trail would likely fall under a "B ride" in good weather, "A ride" when wet. Beginners and those that cant handle riding on the edge should stay at the truck - if you drop a wheel of in many spots you need a good footing and maybe some help to get the bike back on the trail. By a wheel off, I am talking trail is 18" wide and if you go 19" your off the bike.
Most of the trail is hillside, but about 20% is under canopy.
My son spent some time frustrated, I was tired (still way out of shape), but we made it back with smiles.

He really does not want to deal with this part of the trail

Feeling much better after checking it out and finding broken parts, boot straps, and lots of rubber on the rocks from others that had problems in this same section

Well deserved victory dance

Great views - we live in the dark section just bellow his right elbow
