    Skinny

If you're looking for a trail that's a bit more challenging than most in the area, this would be one of them. It has a good climb, and definitely some skinny section along the trail. Once in the middle of the ridge, you'll find The Playground. Here there are 4 different lines you can attack, with a drop to boot. Something to test those that are more extreme. Enjoy
