Generally a more popular exit for mountain bikes from Graysill or Engine Creek this technical trail has some punchy climbs and slick and technical rock gardens. Some sections are very difficult to clear and could be considered double black.

Expect to get your feet wet at the end crossing the creek to get back to the road.
