Mr Bones is hand built technical single track that is generally mellow in grade with a few steep switch back turns and rollable drops that will challenge intermediate riders. The top section is less difficult and I would rate this somewhere between blue and black. You access the start of this trail via the entrance to Low key. This section exits onto the moto trail after you walk through a moto gate. Head out to the road and access the lower section for the full descent.

      Currently a branch right at head level across the entire trail! Branch blends in and is at high speed part of the trail - use caution!

      Fun trail! More fun to start from the road where the sign for Mr. Bones is. Not as much fun from the low key trail. Gotta watch out for the slippery roots when there is even the slightest bit of mud. Trees are more switchbacks and tech and clear cut is flowy with some small jumps and gaps.

      The trail is now fully connected to the lower part of Mr Bones no need to go to the road.
