"Death Rattle" name is a bit of a misnomer but don't trick yourself either.
Steep top section with a couple of S-Berms followed by some chunky rooty uneven carving makes this trail fun, fast and challenging.
Often a 'destination' trail it makes the brief climb to Green Road or up Sweetwater Creek trail worth it for a fun loop
**Don't make the mistake of going straight across road at bottom**
Turn right onto Duck Lake Branch 1/Halsam Main and ride along road for a few minutes to get to top of W8 and then your single-track life changing experience continues!
