Ride in RainYes
One of the more advanced trails in the area. Be ready for multiple 3-4 ft drops and lots of fast chunky rock. Trail starts off fast and flowy and then gets steep and tight. Most drops have a go around.
Access Info
Fastest way to the start is to take Bunny to Fossil to the top. Take the 2 track to the left and follow up to Scar. Go left and it will run into Boneshaker.

Good loop to test your tech-climbing ability. Grab a water break at the radio tower before heading back down.

Rock drops and rolls the size of cars. Gnarley

This trail gets the blood pumping in a great way. Chunk - drops - steep loose tech - spectacular views of the nearby Red Rock. You might see a hiker or 2 so stay on your toes. A must if you like a challenge and have the skills. FULL FIVE STARS!

Kibble and bits to cat and the hat to SARS to get the bone shaker. Lots of climbing
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
