Whatever
Yeah it's not a perfectly buff park trail
Apricot is a climbing trail and sucks as a downhill
Lightning is the only fun trail coming off the top

Trail Lightning
It's all good. I just found it hard to not catch the edges, but if someone is great at sticking the center with speed - I am sure it is an awesome decent. I am not, so it sucks the fun out of the downhill if I am just slow rolling the whole way. Happy trails!

Trail Lightning
Went down this route at the start of May. I think sections are fun, and then after a point you worry about opening up and catching the edge of the trail. Was starting to feel confident in sticking down the center of the trail so opened up my speed, caught my tire on the lip of the upper side of the trail (trail is grooved into the hillside) and I had a pretty good crash. Probably in part due to my lack of riding time on grooved out trails but I think I would ride up this next time since other trails don't have the high sides/narrow trail and I feel I could open up the speed more on them and enjoy the decent.

Trail Twin Peaks Slide
It's fun if you can ride downhill. Fast and slightly rocky. Very sustainable, don't know who wrote the desription but they are very wrong. Only way to connect horselake to no. 2 Don't mess with this trail!!!

Trail Twin Peaks Slide
The trail is a rear tire slide path, straight downhill with no drainage and no actual structure. It's just an old uphill motorcycle trail. I'll admit that I do ride it because it's faster than the other alternatives but I wish it was better built.

A pair of hawks often put on a display uphill from this trail.
