A beautiful trail along an open, rocky ridge. Great views West. Original trail builders built a series of Black features - they are separate loops from the track shown. The track is a Blue track and all doable. The BB in the name stands for Black and Blue - the different rides possible. One Black feature is a steep rock face. Best ridden from North to South. A longish, steep hill if biking from South to North.

This trail is unsanctioned.
