A quick little trail near the bottom of Fromme. The trail features some jank, including some reasonable rock faces, a roller-coaster and a big bridge that extends across a small valley. A very fun trail when combined with Upper Crippler or Grannies.
Access Info
From Grannies, make a left turn (East) onto the Baden and the trail is on your right within a very short ride.
The trailhead is fairly obvious and is identifiable by the mostly granite entrance.

The rollercoaster is being rebuilt this year and is currently blocked off for construction.

This trail is a super fun finisher if you are parked on Braemar Road. A wooden A-frame feature, fun rock rolls, a soon-to-be-finished rollercoaster which looks amazing, a couple jaunty little skinnies on the lower half. Or, bike the first half of Lower Crippler and then cut over to Lower Digger on St. Mary's Trail to finish the day off with some jumpy flow.
