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.
