Be prepared for a long, steep and technical descent on this unique trail. The trail starts off fast and tight with thick vegetation, followed by steep technical sections with loose rock. Midway down your rewarded with ripping fast and flowy. As the trail closes in on the valley floor, the steep grade remains but now the exposure gets intense as your negotiating red rock cliffs with numerous technical segments and Moab-esque like ledges to get playful on.
