A narrow trail that twists and turns through a soft wood ridge, linking the middle of the network to the back half between Slug Popper and Bee's Knees. Named after Samson, the dog who was just a puppy while it was being built, and kept running off on his own rather than listening to his owners
This trail is unsanctioned.
