Leapfrog is mainly an access trail to get to its big brother, Northern Borders, but it does have a few fun rocks on which riders can test their trials prowess. Practice your wheelie drops but watch out for your chainrings when you pop up and over the boulders that line the trail.

Access Info

Turn off Peanut and head north. If you see white boulders, you're on the right trail. If you've just taken Northern Borders northbound, you'll wind up on Leapfrog after you've finished the final gut-wrenching climb.
