Smith Creek's original trail. Open and fast this trail pins down the ridge line above Power's Creek Canyon. It ends by turning left into the forest and feeding into Sons of Anarchy. This is a good option for going down if you aren't a strong enough rider to do Danger Danger after doing Travelin' Man (Top) or Dear Santa. There are a couple challenging rock features near the bottom and they can easily be rode around. That is all that makes this a black diamond. This trail is usually very loose with marbley pebbles. Watch some sections for a cliff on your right side!
