      Mislabeled on the map. This is, in fact, Crusher. It’s just a climbing trail. Connects then to Miner’s Mountain with more climbing. Miner’s M then gets to the top with a very small payoff before connecting to the splendiforous Roly Poly. So in itself the Crusher/MM trail doesn’t offer anything like fun, but it does the work to earn the Roly Poly downhill. Plus great view at the top.

      My legs still hurt, and it wasn’t worth it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
