This trail starts just off the double track at a small pull off. The top of the trail is babyhead rocks for the top flat section, the trail then turns into sweeping downhill turns. The trail is great fun and if you give it a little effort it’s flows. The trail has several tight trees that help keep the trail interesting. Enjoy
