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.
