    Bridge

A great downhill for all age riders, from beginner to experienced, with a few easy bridge crossings. This trail is often hiked as well so be cautious of others on trail. Due to the great elevation it is a tougher climb with a few punchy sections but if your in shape and like a challenge it will give you just that.

Access Info

Downhill access is east of the access road in the shuttle drop off zone.
The climb can be accessed from riding lower Cooke & Cook to the bottom of the trail.
