This is a amazing trail. I would highly recommend descending it. It has some steep rock chutes, and lots of bermed turns. Braking bumps before turns and dry, loose conditions make this trail even more technical than it normally is. It is packed with log drops that are simply amazing to hit at speed. Watch your speed around blind corners-this first portion of Longhorn is multi-directional.
