A DH track which starts well above treeline just beyond the locked gate on Cheeseman Rd. Check out the views before traversing through tussock lands, then things get a bit steeper once you enter the forest. Please be aware that the trail surface above treeline is fragile when wet or frosted and you should consider riding something less prone to damage.
Please note: DOC have stated no more tracks are to be developed below the Cheeseman Skifield Road.
Access Info
Ride up Cheeseman Rd. You can exit on to the road from a couple of different spots near the bottom or link in to Drac Flat Trail and pop out at Texas Flat parking area.

Super nice rework end of 2019! Grade is more a single black. Super fun!

Mega fun trail although I disagree with longliveenduro. In Nelson this would be a Grade 4, but for Cragieburn it's a 5 in the dry, hard 5 in the wet.
1/4 in the open, really fast and great. 3/4 in the trees where it's quite rooty and variable. 'Easy' in the dry, but the quantity of roots mean it's going to be a nice challenge in the wet. Not overwhelmingly rooty though - if you ride Nelson it's like a pretty tame version of Peking Ridge.
90% of the pedal up is easy, last little bit can be very windy and loose. Shuttleable.
