New for 2023 A 4.5 km, green level flow trail leading from the new Yellow Gate Parking Lot all the way down to the bottom of the mountain. Great fun for riders of all levels.

NOTE: the very bottom portion from the lower parking area to the beginning of the Lower Harper Climb Trail is TWO WAY, but past that point the trail is DOWNHILL ONLY!
