This is an iconic local Salt Lake City downhill trail. At the top there is a flat area to congregate and pad up. The first section is typically some fast and rough berms that can get a bit choppy from both the brake bumps and often spring water finds a channel right down the middle.

After that it opens up into big berms with many jump and gap options. This is the trail with the old rusty car gaps. Cross the road for the 'Peter's Drops' section of the trail to finish on 11th Ave.
