Fun down ramp An excellent alternative to bobsled down if you don't I care about hitting jumps. This is not exactly a well worn track by bikes - much more of a hiking access trail. There is one switchback which is a mandatory "get off and pick up your bike and turn it 180 degrees" that could use some help to make the trail much more bike-suitable
