Easily one of the most fun and popular trails in Cuyuna The east trails around Yawkey Mine are basically a bike park. All of them are less than 2kms long and everything funnels back to your vehicle. Bobsled has the standard leg burning "pay the admission" then 7-8 massive 10' high x 20' wide hillside berms that line a small valley that funnels you back towards the start. Very well groomed, well maintained, and if you get really high on the walls your speed can get quite high. There's a shortcut option that allows you to forego the shale rock gardens that complete the circuit at the top of the trail. That being said, many less-experienced riders take the short cut and can mess up your flow if you're not aware while you're tearing around the berms!

      Recently got reworked, making the climb a half a mile longer; but much easier to session.

      Amazing trail. Great berms, super fast downhill. Whoever built this—not to mention the other trails in this cluster (I haven’t ridden any others at Cuyuna yet)—is a genius.

      Trailforks shows this trail as being 2-way. It's most definitely NOT.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
