A great trail which is often accessed from Coal Bank Pass, via the Pass Creek trail. You end up riding the best part, the descent, this was with minimal effort. Make it even better by shuttling back up US 550 and hitch a ride back up to your vehicle.

 Tree Down on trail. Looks like it fell right down from one switch back up the length. Basically blocking entire trail for about 10-20 feet.
