After dropping out of Right Lung, this section of track is desceptive in that it zips around a relatively flattish area, allowing for some speedy fun. The fun ends rather quick as the track starts some steep and washed out climbs back up the hillside, finally spilling out onto Vermont Firetrail. Directly across the firetrail is the entry to Left Lung.
