Trail that starts with some flowy curves, berms, and jumps, then transitions to a steeper downhill section. A few fun features with ladder drops/jumps. There are some new alternate line with larger features. Ends and merges with the trail after sloppy seconds.

      Easy to lose the trail due to overgrowth and also ruts. Only clean trails at Dog Park right now are the jump lines.
