This is a black diamond downhill trail and a feature of the Chiang Mai International Enduro Race. The upper section is steep with slope gradients up to -40% and good flow. In 2019 some big jumps and drops were added to offer some technical options for the more adventurous. The lower section is still steep with treacherous rock gardens that alternate with flow sections but overall is very rutted with plenty of loose rocks. Quite dusty in the dry season, hence the name.

Access Info

The upper section begins at the road that leads from San Ku down to the Ban Khun Chang Khian village. The lower section coincides with the Wang Bua Ban route (also known as "Iron Man" trail) and exits on Sriwichai road.
