- Moderate climbsestimated
- Nine tenths of this trail is at or below a 12.0% grade, which is steady work rather than scrambling. Source: DEM terrain profile, low confidence.
Biking is not listed. That means no explicit permission is recorded, which is not the same as a prohibition — see the bike section below.
