You've made it up the jeep track to level 4 and want to ride the Snake Trails or DH line from the top? This is the way. Head up the switchback jeep track climb to level 5. As the track levels out make a sharp right up a steep incline before again traversing the contour. You will soon see the signpost for the top of DH 0 on your right. Carry on past this for close to 600 meters. The jeep track becomes virtually a single track and eventually comes to a halt at the Cobra trail head.
