Land OwnerLaguna Canyon Foundation
Coming from the Newport side, the trail starts with a pretty technical downhill section (not beginner friendly). There are some man-made rock gardens with an optional easier dirt line. A couple small optional man made jumps as well. After the initial DH, it's all easy flowy fun single track within the trees except at a mandatory (for mere mortals) rock step-up to finish out the last section of singletrack. This trail is popular with the uphill hiking population, so be aware in the low visibility areas.
Access Info
From the Newport side there's a small unmarked opening on Bommer Ridge.
