Executioner is an old school fall line trail, at times steep, tight & twisty, rooty & raw with some wide open tech sections.

The trail flows right into Dreamweaver offering a great descent. Or, if you've got the gusto, turn right on Dreamweaver to climb No Quarter and do it all over again

Access Info

Accessed off Mountain Hwy before the 6th switchback, exits on Dreamweaver.

      Great old school jank trail. Not actually Executioner of old, as the bottom half was removed and bastardized with Bitches Brew to make what we have today. Great run that is a testament to a legacy of core Shore riding. Interestingly, needs little maintenace that the flow trails have in constant rotation.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
