Lots of jumps, drops, berms, and rocky sections to break up the flow. This seems to be a very common trail to do shuttle runs on, and I can see why! Best trail in the area if you ask me.

Post 2021 fire, this trail is still just fine thanks to the work of FATRAC et al. Burnt trees here and there and the tunnel rut is a bit deeper but all in all just the same ‘ol Culvert

The black tunnel is 10 seconds horror. I'm sure there's boatloads of snakes in there. Just don't stop.

This trail has it all. switchbacks, flow, drops, jumps, two up hills to get to it, banked turns, even a huge culvert you ride thru. The best trail in Auburn area.

This is a really awesome trail for riding free ride or XC!
