Flowy little downhill section, easy to rep if you're really liking it. There are lots of little offshoots that branch off of this trail, and they all meet up at the same place. As long as you're going downhilll, you're good.

 pretty dry, not too loose yet though. Slightly overgrown, so wear long sleeves if you don't want to get scratched.
