Where does Nox fall on the difficulty scale between LewMo and Wildcat? The youtube videos make it look like LewMo with less climbing.

Challenge accepted?

IMHO it feels more like Nassau in High Bridge. No real climbing with little to no rocks with a few roots spattered about. Super fun and fast place.

That being said, I was only here once and was apart of a 12 person group ride.....I wasn't really paying that much attention. It was more of a point and shoot type of ride for me.

Nox is very easy, nice and flowy. I bring the kids there (and at 6-miles). I think there's only one rock section!

Yep, It's very flowy. No extended climbs, just short punchy stuff.
I agree that Nassau is a better comparison than LM.

There is a variety of goods there IMO.
Not really any tech but there is a bunch of features to play on. Log rides, relatively smooth armored sections, berms & rollers, bedrock stream crossings. There is even one little chunky section that is "Chimney Rockish"

A good place for any skill level really.

I find it interesting the variety of trail building techniques that they incorporate...but I can't help noticing that stuff
