Double Down is an demanding technical mountain bike trail featuring steep descents, punchy climbs, and numerous rock ledges up to 2 feet high that riders must navigate by dropping or hopping up them. This physically grueling trail tests even advanced riders and can be ridden in both directions.

Originally part of the longer "Deception" route that included the 1/4 Notch segment, Double Down was later split into its own separate trail to isolate the highest difficulty portions. While 1/4 Notch offers a more moderate ride, Double Down caters strictly to advanced mountain bikers seeking an challenge on the trails.

      Rocky with technical challenges throughout. Don’t let the overall elevation gain deceive you, it’s rife with ups and downs that are challenging and technical.
