This is the upper part of the trail that is a very popular mountain bike trail going downhill. Riders love it for many reasons: It is fast, steep in multiple spots, and has different lines through some gnarled rocky formations. Several sections are a bit like a sandy gully that you can drift and powerslide around.

Access Info

The most common access is by riding up the Peak View Trail.

      		 Trail is dry with the exception of a few corners near the end.

      		 Shaded areas are getting pretty sticky and will be prone to rut. Reconsider unless it’s 3-4 days after last storm or you’ll ruin the trail.

      		 The ground is nice and tacky. There are bad braking bumps in some sections.

      		 Bad braking bumps, but not the worst for this time of year.
