Land OwnerNOVA Parks
This EMT access trail can be used to bypass a few miles of the Black Loop, or to repeat the final section if you are a masochist. The "Black DH" segment begins where this track meets the trail, firing you off Launchasaurus rock into the best downhill the trail system has to offer.
