Land OwnerParastone
A lower section of the Montane area, probably the the most physical section vin Montane. Most people ride down from the Hut, an exhilarating sections of berms and little jumps, almost down to Cokato Road. Then follow along parallel and above the road, past the sketchy teeter-totter, and then a series of switchbacks climb back up. They are not especially demanding, technically, but they will get your heart-rate up as the gradient is pretty solid (but still very much blue terrain).
