The aptly named Forest trail takes riders into the small forest of trees on the Sunset West property. When riding downhill, you will quickly exit the trees and begin a small series of roller, berm, drop, jump, berm, corner. After that you'll climb to the top of the north hill then descend towards the north entrance of Sunset West.

Access Info
