TTFs on TrailJump, Rock Garden
A great step up from MillBilly, this bike-only gravity trail is a fun ripping descent. It is on the intermediate end of difficulty, and everything is rollable but there is opportunity for air. Some optional lines exist. Enjoy the plentiful and long rock rollovers, as this creative trail winds through the glacial landscape.
Access the trail from the Lower Timber Haul and Middle Timber Haul climbing trails. Lower Rip exits on the road. Across from the exit is Aurora, which can be ridden back to Knife Edge Brewing or take a right onto Hammond Ridge ski trail for a quick trip back up for more Lower Rip runs
