Mega Zen is an optional finish to the traditional Zen. It is a bit more extreme, with some steep rock rolls, some cliffside exposure, and a steep wooden ramp off the bluff. It connects to the Jeep road below the Powerline which can be used to return to the bottom of Zen (Zen Parking Lot) to the north. Recommended for experts only.

 Trail is in good shape. Definitely watch out for one particular tight section on the trail. Exposure and penalty for falling is significant.

 Booby trap? Two large nails in the middle of the trail not long before the ramp. Couldn't pull them out by hand.
