TTFs on TrailBerm, Drop, Jump, Rock Face
Primarily ridden as part of a either a loop or connection to Weir Canyon beyond, the trail transitions from long open turns at the top to tighter switchbacks as it descends to the bottom of the canyon. A few steep pitches and tight turns lead up and out leads to the Weir Connector, where a right turn heads towards Weir Canyon and a left turn returns to Barham Ridge. Best ridden in the opposite direction if you prefer climbing and done so not during peak times.
