This is a 1 mile loop off the Tussey Mountain Extension Trail. Has a fun downhill regardless of which way you go but then you have to pay the piper on the way back up unless you opt to use Bailout Trail
Access Info
Off Tussey Ridge Trail or from Bailout Trail

Forgiving fast and flowy machine made trail. Definitely an anomoly compared to the rest of Rothrock. Big berms and even some jibs.
