Land OwnerCity of Durango
An incredibly steep trek up the mountain. The south section of this trail climbs 400 feet in .4 miles - the grade exceeds 45º in places I'd say that it's only meant to be ridden downhill, but how do you get to the top? Nearby Hog Wild is also incredibly steep.
This trail is not for the faint of heart. Local riders say that people snowboard down this trail in the Winter. It's a fun drop, but VERY challenging and intimidating!
Disclaimer
EXTREME steepness and loose surface. This is one of the hardest climbs and descents in the area.
