Singletrack trail that connects Blake's Cabin trail to Big Bluff. Rides great in both directions. Climb can be punchy in a few spots, but fairly clear lines. Installed to bypass Logger's trail to ascend from Blake's Cabin to Big Bluff to eliminate riding up Watson Grand Way to Big Bluff. Is even more fun on the way down
