Double Black Diamond Downhill trail. You can access the trail via Parietal and Maxilla or from the summit access road start the trail at the end of Maxilla. The trail starts with a steep rock roll after crossing the hiking trail. It descends with a series of off camber traverses, steep berms, rock rolls and drops. This is a less serious trail than Maxilla, and even as some sections of flow. You can access the trail from woods roads off the Summit Access Road at about 1/3 of the way down or 3/4 of the way down.
