Higher Ground
If you like the Red Hot Chili Peppers you should like this trail.
Built as a climb trail with some challenge to access the top of Pub Feed descent. Also fun as a descent.
Trail routes through cool forest with some rock features.
Ride it from the Raft Rim for a full loop.
The higher you go the higher you get !
Built by DBP Trails in 2021.
