Starting June 1, 2021 this Trail is DH for all user groups as part of the OC Parks Trails Pilot Project

Short, flow trail that starts off of Barham Ridge. It is a relatively fast rolling trail with multiple berms. During the summer/dry it can be relatively loose. It is usually very good/fast after some moisture. It is typically ridden downhill from Barham Ridge to the small Valley in between Barharm Ridge and the 3 B's climb directly across. You can continue across to climb Bumblebee (which climbs to the middle of the B's), turn right to go up Coachwhip and back to Barham Ridge or left for a small connector to Mountain Goat. It is popular with bikes, however, can be busy with hikers, especially during cooler/busier days.
