Moose Knuckles is a very steep and technical trail that descends from near the intersection of Danimal and Industrial Disease. There are some nice rock drops but unfortunately the middle of the trail is getting fairly eroded. Good luck

Access Info

The trail is access by riding Danimal South or Lower Sproatt and is usually combined with High Society for a long double-black descent off the Flank trail

 Huge tree blocking the trail after the rock area at the bottom. Watch your speed. Otherwise below Danimal South connection is pretty good!
