An alternate option to the two track of upper FreightTrain.

This route is more of a trail experience and descends at a much friendlier grade. Ties into freightTrain before its junction with middle[/L] telephone.

Up for adoption and rework. For the adventurous riders. Not recommended for novice riders or riders new to the area. The Ridgeline portion is rough/overgrown although short lived in comparison to the whole ride

This trail is unsanctioned.
