Fish (blazed Orange) is an intermediate/advanced trail featuring rock spines and bar-width tight trees. This trail is fun up or down, although a bit of base-line fitness is required to clean this climb. To ride downhill, good brakes and finesse are required.
You can get to this trail by climbing the Dumptruck Climb and making a left into a rhododendron stand. This is the uphill direction. Or you can climb Upper Shute, to Otter, to Tanks, to Cages, to Tiger to Fish (when you exit Tiger Pen it will bring you to the start of Fish near the Baboon Pen).

Full Name: So Long and Thanks For All The Fish a name coined by one of our local trail building curmudgeons.
