New extension to the Goosebumps trails. This trail was built and designed as a climbing trail to access the top of the JEM trail (Southern most end also the highest point). There is a section of climb that is bench cut leaving little to no room for passing, as this trail is used primarily as a climb, please descend with care and caution.
Overall a great climb.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Trailer is 24 to 36 inches wide. Mostly on camera, though there are Probably five or six spots that is definitely off camper during the climb. Little to no true exposure, but you don’t want to fall into a wash. No technical sections, it’s a smooth elevator to the top of Jem.
