• A short, primarily one-way connector trail which drops down from Cabin Loop to Jaeden. Rated as blue/intermediate but has one short, steep sidehill section.
• Useful to get down to Jaeden to head back towards town if you don’t want to do the full ride out to the east end of Cabin Loop to Geordie’s Trail.
• A tongue-in-cheek name for a minimalist trail-building style of trail
