A steep and loose trail with a large rut at the bottom. Constantly evolving with maintenance. About the same skill as Hectic. This trail has less hikers than Cabarello, but the hikers are less likely to be expecting bike traffic. Please use a bell and remember the majority of users are hikers from the San Fernando Valley.
