Land Owner
Fast, Flowy, and Rocky.
One of the popular downhill tracks at the bike park, this trail starts at the top of the mountain next to the antenna tower, immediately crosses the fire road and continues along the ridges until it joins the Vail Lake Dam road at the bottom. It is a singletrack trail with good flow and a few rocky sections. It is mostly mellow but is punctuated by two sporty rock sections that will provide some challenge to the rider. The rocky sections have gotten more gnarly over the years as erosion has allowed the rocks to 'grow' while the dirt between them has been washed away. This trail may be used for a stage during a SoCal Enduro race and is a good way to get acclimated to the trail system. Recommend coming up via Ambulance and Great Oak to start this downhill specific trail.

Fun Blue trail that goes to Black in two rocky sections you'll probably want to get a good look at before bombing down.

So fun but definitely a blue not a black

One of my favorite DH Sections here at Vail. Intermediate based trail with a couple rocky/tricky sections. It is a fun warm up run for the more techy DH runs on the other side of the mtn.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
