“A fantastic trail starting on a ridge with gorgeous views and ending down the steepest part of the trail system. ”

Need to Know

Be wary of mountain bikers coming downhill with speed. This is a popular route with little-to-no warning time.

Description

The trail kicks off with a sharp turn, but transforms quickly into a flat traverse across the hill, with stunning views the whole way along.

However, the real fun begins when you take a left turn, and head downhill. The trail ranges from sandy, tight turns towards the top, to big bumps near the bottom, and long, straight stretches in between.
