      Dense network of high-quality USFS and social trails above the KB grid. Expect to pedal for your descents, though shuttling Martis Peak Rd. and descending via TRT/KB Trail is a popular option. These trails are low elevation and south facing - while they are usually the first to burn off in the spring, they are also the first to turn to moondust in the summer.
      Primary Trail Type: All-Mountain & Downhill
      Shuttleable: YES
