      With the recent addition of the lower part of Apollo (between rocky ridge & orbit), this makes a fun alternate way to climb to, or descend from Dipper. Comparing with other trails in the area, I'd call it a green, especially the newest lower bit.

      I guess they are calling it the Rocky Ridge Access Trail. Either way, I willl avoid it and come back on Rocky Ridge.

      Rode this trail for the first time today connecting Dipper to Rocky Ridge. It’s short, but super fun. I am hoping that they will continue their work and refurbish Rocky Ridge. No one likes riding that trail anymore. Took the Rocky Ridge Connector trail back to the bottom of Big Bang. The Rocky Ridge Connector trail is terrible.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
