This loop is great for intermediate riders. Newer riders will also enjoy it, but be prepared for some technical and rocky sections on Scorpion, as well as a challenging climb up Old Post. Starting from the Scorpion Trailhead, head onto Scorpion Trail and descend over rocky terrain (find the flow by pumping up and over all the baby heads). Scorpion forks about halfway down, with Pyramid continuing to the right with steeper terrain. Stay left on Scorpion for fast and flowy downhill. At the bottom, take the road straight across from the trail and head towards Old Post. Climb up technical and sustained terrain to Skywalker. Hand a left and climb to the high point via rolling terrain and then descend back towards the Trailhead.
