TTFs on TrailDrop, Rock Face
Bear Bones is the quickest trail from the top Rose Valley Peak to get to the Rose Valley Dam access road to continue the Lake Loop. Not overly technical but the last section of the trail is called Side Show Bob and that 300 meters is better rated as advanced rather than intermediate.
