One of the most epic views of Penticton from the Mice.
A fairly typically awesome rocky descent awaits.
Rocks, turns, rocks, trees, rocks, green grass.

Be aware there is a fairly blind right hander once the grass starts to get a little taller. Some trees are strewn to guide you around the corner.

Access Info

On Sidewinder you will come across a faint gap in the shrubs on the South (left, while descending), climb up from here.
