Gets it's name from the Autumnal colouring of the trees, this trail is short but very sweet. A multi-use descent with very low usage. Starts off wide and smooth before narrowing up and becoming rougher and steeper. Brings you out to the grassy field next to the centre.

Access Info

Climb the Forest Road until you reach the penultimate carpark. On your right is the fireroad to Blue Trail 4 but on you left is the fireroad to Electric Avenue. Go left and just before the continuation of the red climb is a red signpost marked with a horse hoof. Belt it down here keeping to the right as the trail narrows. This is one descent you will want to do over and over.
