The trail starts next to a small post within the trees. The initial descent has some good turns and a couple areas that get more technical. It's all singletrack within the wooded area. There are a couple of small creek crossings. Be careful at each of these as they have sharp entrances and exits to the creek. Eventually, you'll reach a turn off to access Dead Cow.

If you continue past, there is a small climb to gain access to the open area and the start of Mike's Night Out.
