This technical downhill trail descends 230 feet from the top of Enchanted forest. It gets its black diamond rating for its large rock obstacles, roots, blind turns, and heavy compressions. You'll need to pedal and pump to maintain speed through the flat middle section, but it's a fast, fun, challenging descent for intermediate-advanced riders.

      		 Has the usual mud holding areas. Starts steep and fast, with some techy turns. Levels out for a mild tech traverse.
