The climbing section of Cowley's Curse on the southern end of the trail system. This section can also be access from the Bench Road, but only via the Fault Line Trail, as this is a directional trail. Nice rolling climb on dusty hardpack. There is a fun little roller section that goes around the old gravel pit and provides some variety.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Green Rating: Beginner features and moderate terrain.

Bench cut trail 32 - 40” wide, which has been grown in. Generally on camber with some off camber moments.
