A fast DH with alternate line features.

For bonus points start the dh thrill at "The Point", then on to the Mini Down, then take a left going down the Climber to Lower Mothers (probably not on Trail Forks yet), then to the Horseshoe.

At the very start of the Mini Down there is a rock outcropping. Walk that outcropping down to the lookout. The porcupine that lives there keep the trail somewhat clear. That lookout is a good spot for a break.
