This trail begins at the lower A Mountain parking area and climbs to the saddle where the road splits. From the saddle the trail descends the "Ivory Staircase" to Starr Pass Blvd. Expect rocks, looseness and some wonderful tech.

      Local trash that you just have to ride. The downhill is essentially repeated drops with marbles spread over them. Enjoy!
