Corral Trail is a short single track connector to Corral Rd. Starting with a short up it quickly points down and threads between some trees with optional small rock drops.It has good flow as it esses down the hill, ending with a straight steep blown sector the drops you onto the Corral Rd. at a 90 degree left. It is a nice combo to do with Braille or Flow, as it's the first option off Ridge Trail. If you continue down Corral Rd. (fast fire road with water bars), then you can turn left onto Sulpher and start the climb back up to Ridge. It's the shortest climb if you want to get in at least two trails in one day.
