Single-track with twists and one drop and climb out.Fairly rooty but super ride-able any time of the year Entrance on north end has been changed to across exit of Hope. Old section through ravine is gone due to logging for new Ride Park.

      North end of this trail (maybe 1/4 mile) is disappeared under logging activities (now completed).
