A little ripper of a downhill that can be taken pretty fast. A couple of loose sidehill sections exist, but are easily cruised over. Also, the final drop into the wash at the end can sometimes be quite big and abrupt Bottom section of trail was enhanced April 26. Added grade reversals, drops, berms and drains to make the trail more sustainable and fun. New GPS track has been uploaded.

      Super fun but I think should be blue.
      At the moment the wash at the bottom isn't too abrupt.

      Will do it again now that I know what to expect. Fun.
