This trail starts off of Menny Thanks and heads down another finger. Starts out mellow and flowy but gets rowdier as you continue down. It's mostly an intermediate trail however there a number of large rock drops with the end of the trail having a long succession of drops. There are alternate ride around options for most of the larger drops.

This trail is unsanctioned.

 Trail is running great, drops are good, singletrack is clear, the chute at the end is pretty much perfect. My new favorite Vegas trail!
