I enjoy it because it's a fast trail with lots of variety and awesome scenery. If you're in Bend, be sure to ride this trail. I've ridden this trail a couple of times and the last time took a good friend of mine who is just starting into mountain biking. We both had a great time as the trail presents all types of single track from technical to cruzin on the waters edge. Love the scenery along the river.
Climbs are never too long for the beginner.
I ride it whenever I get the chance. Watch out for those hikers though, and get off your bike to look over the edge at the waterfalls or you could get too close of a look.
