Awesome section of trail purpose-built with rock features and steeps to rival some of the better trails in the area. Relatively new so needs to be worn in some. Also be careful going after a rain, as there are some serious wet areas. The climb from east is a killer, and the DH from west is blissful.

New bridges built over the swamp. Some parts of the trail need a little work but otherwise great technical trail.
