A very fun, relatively short, loamy trail which has flowy sections as well as steep and challenging sections with tight corners. Always a fun trail to link up into Hind Sight. Worth the climb and a good trail in most conditions.

Access Info

It's right next to the big electrical building off of the microwave road.

This trail is unsanctioned.
