Tight fast downhill coming back down from the Daily Ranch Trail fire road. Good rock sections with ruts. Can be difficult to spot obstacles in the spring as there can be a lot of natural weed overgrowth from the rains.

 Mostly okay dirt- a few small water crossings or muddy spots. Really getting overgrown- hasn’t been maintained in ages.

 IMO the only downhill worth riding in Hollenback Canyon. Not as overgrown as other singletracks in the area.

 Hidden gem. Access isn't convenient, but it's a good time payoff. Great condition and not too hot right now.
