Best way to connect with the nature again after all the airports and hotels - The ride was perfect, and everyone involved with the experience was so helpful and patient. I was having some trouble finding the actual location but they waited for two hours. The trail had the perfect amount of challenge for almost every level.

Not as expected. - This trail is nothing like the pictures. This trail is not meant for such bikes provided, must have been FATBiking not regular. Seats were so bad for such an ALL WAY rocky trail. You don't get close to the lake as in the picture. The trail is nice but not meant for such bikes. Both my wheels were flat 20 minutes before starting this trail. Had to walk all 3 KM with a flat bike. Awful experience not as expected. Money should have been refunded for the consideration of the state of such bikes.
