    Berm

Fun downhill run that is pretty easy and fun. Nice natural berms through an old wash. The trails throws you from side to side up and down the walls of the wash. A few spots to catch air, but usually followed by a quick turn, so be careful your first time around. The trail is surrounded by Sage scrub brush, so if you over shoot a turn the cost of failure is pretty low.
