Though everyone seems to be enamored with the Flow Trail, Braille is still the best shreddy trail out there—more natural terrain with optional jumps, drops and stunts. It's short but sweet. And you can do a second lkap by climbing up Sulpher Springs back to the top and repeating it.

Closed at the second gate. Ranger was turning everyone around due to heavy equipment fixing a slide that washed out the road. He said will probably be closed for a couple more weeks.
