Easy? I disagree on both counts. We tried to do it today from the Dead Man's Flats end and gave up after about 2 km, while walking over half of that. The part we did is fully flagged (with orange and black tape) but is a narrow rutted single track with 30° ascents and descents, holes, treacherous rock crossings, and all sorts of other unpleasantness. I freely admit to not being a mountain biker, but my goodness, if this is an "easy" trail, I'm never riding again. "Easy" is Goat Creek, the track to Karst Springs, the start up Ribbon Creek -- not this. Excellent? Easy? I disagree on both counts.
