The late Daisy was a cross between a Jack Russell and a raccoon, hence the name "jackoon". She clawed this line in with her talons and dug deep so you would have it all, a climb, a descent and an aggressive trail you have to work on to make flow. Her ashes live on, hopefully in peace up there, knowing that her ambition far outweighed her talent....much like the builders.

Downhill only, no uphill riding.

This trail is unsanctioned.
