Purpose-built trail that caps the southern end of the Iron Hills Trail System. It's a fast descent with massive bermed turns and optional features that will keep intermediate and advanced riders entertained.
It's a bi-directional trail so please yield to uphill MTB and all foot traffic.
All trails in the Iron Hills System are closed December 1st - April 30th annually to protect critical winter Mule Deer habitat.
