Happies is a rooty short sharp black descent. Can be accessed from downhill access road or as a continuation from Stingers link.
Raw for those that like technical descending. Finishes after not one but two steep chutes at the Downhill access road nearby junction of MP39

      Not a double black, only a single. Quite a fun trail in my opinion. Nice and steep with lots of roots and rocks to go around/over.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
