Land Owner
Highline Express is an expert level downhill trail like you would find in a bike park. It is filled with drops, stepdowns, and jumps. With recent trail updates be sure to check everything out before you send it. It's a really fast and flowy trail once you have it dialed. There are actually two trails running parallel, from the trail entrance the harder line goes off a ledge drop to your left, and the easier line goes to the right. There are spots where you can switch from the left to right line if you feel like mixing it up. Towards the bottom is a big step down that's 35' to the transition.
