One of the most technical trails in Jefferson County and in the Front Range in general. Expect large, angular, slabby rock that is poised to grab your front wheel and launch you off your bike. If starting this trail from the north and heading south be ready for a lung buster climb that is capped off with a long set of wooden stairs. Legends and demigods can clean these stairs but mere mortals will be hiking for a short bit. Strap on your technical skills and get ready for a rowdy descent.
