This short track acts as a return link that takes you back to the start of Gobblers Knob. You start from near the exit of Gobblers on the skid road or you can link in before the Gobblers exit. There is a mix of flat and some steep switchbacks to join back onto Link Road below the entry to Gobblers knob. If you enjoy Gobblers Knob and want to do it again this is the way to go.
