Fun section of trail that climbs from the old water plant up past the entrance to Sidewinder, through Confusion Corner and then loops back onto Ridgemont Road. Most will take the sharp left after Confusion Corner to cut back onto the next bit of Eco, and the boardwalks.

Access Info

Head up Cemetery Bypass, keep straight past the old water plant. You'll come to a junction with Eco on the left, What's Up Doc on the right and Kiddie Up in the middle.
