Find the beautiful Missouri River Valley overlook point as you crest this trail. Narrow, 100+ year old minimal singletrack with a couple tech spots. Followed with a fast descent down to the riverfront This is enjoyed best coming from the Scout Hill cabins loop, west side, riding up to the crest and then back down, all the way down to the riverfront
