Extremely fun switchback, singletrack. Although Trailforks users ride this predominantly downhill, it is the closest climbing route to steeper downhill tracks descending in this area of the park.

Contrary to what some newbies say, this trail is NOT downhill only.
mtbLukeP
Great fun downhill trail only. Tons of berms and little jump to play around with. Well built.
DPTR
Don't go up, but the down is great. Super fun with lots of switchbacks. Be warned that this trail is steeper than rock it and lynx, but it is less technical. If you can handle a little bit of steep turns, you'll be fine.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
