TTFs on TrailBerm, Bridge, Drop, Jump
Fast with some wood and dirt jumps, most have rolls but not all, no ride arounds, no gap jumps, . Almost no pedalling or uphill. Access is up forest service road then skid road. Trail bisects skid road several times on way down. Initially built as shuttle/DH trail, but road condition varies, best to pedal up. Watch out for dirt bikes and quads on road up. Trail dries out quickly, can get loose mid-summer.
