Descending from the highest point in the north-west corner of the Willowie Forest, E-Skid-Na features a mix of fast, flowing machine cut and natural, handbuilt features. While this trail is suitable for intermediate riders, more experienced riders will enjoy finding challenging lines and features.

Short-beaked echidnas can be seen throughout the Mount Remarkable National Park, where they feed on insects hidden among the leaf litter. Most active in the hotter months, echidnas enter a state of hibernation in cooler weather.
