The best part of the Dry Canyon Loop, this is a really fun down hill. May be the best section of the benches, rivaled only by Ireland Down. Up this has a lot of hike-a-bike and fast riders coming down, not recommended as a climb.

      Very fun downhill. I think the black rating is a bit much. It’s steep but smooth, and surrounded by trees on each side (no exposure).

      Pretty fun slide down the mountainside on narrow single track.
