      One of the hardest black trails on fromme, far more difficult than anything on other blacks. Even though its very difficult, the skinnies are super challenging and a work of art!

      My very first day on Mountain Biking, I took this trail by accident without taking the Lower Griffin trail. At least I rode a 1/10 of the trail.
