Trail Access Road
Originally called Energizer Bunny, this trail, an old logging road, is still rideable, serving as a narrow double track alternative to accessing Big Fir trails.

excellent run is to ride up via winter route then bomb your way back down the summer route. Fall rains are creating some big puddles and muddy sections but most of the trail is pure fun.

Trail Hwy 103
This trail has so many fun features and looks like it’s starting to get some well-deserved love. Looking forward to returning to ride this one again in drier conditions after the makeover. Some of the features are a bit sketch atm.

Was there a triple linked Teeter Totter? I believe it was called a combobulator.

New exit near bottom will avoid the wheel eating holes.
