This ride starts and ends the Wade Springs Trailhead parking lot. The real singletrack starts and ends at Valley Vista. The spin up is a bit of a grind but not rocky or loose. Only as you approach the very top of thunderdome does the trail get a bit more difficult to navigate, but mostly due to some steep pitches. The rocks and small roots are embedded.

Once you reach the top of Thunderdome, you will have a 3-sided view of the valley below. The drop down is a loose and rocky riot. Some sections are very straight lines with big speed. There are a few places to check your speed where there are some abrupt turns and what a very big whoop-di-do that you do not want to huck to flat on. Do the descent once with reasonable speed before attempting it full gas.
