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 Mountain Extension Trail or from Bailout Trail

This side seems a little more techie than the "north"/blue side. Berms not as big, no jumps, a bit more natural terrain. Tons of fun, but definitely different than the other side.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
