One of the more technical trails at Ute Valley park, the enterance is a mellow rock roller and there are 2 optional drops 3-4 Ft drops on this trail.
Not technically a downhill only biking route. Bike bells are highly recommended.

      I would also like to thank the guy at the trailhead for telling me this was his favorite trail in the park. One minute your petting grandmas puppy on a green trail and the next minute you’re wishing you were padded up in your full face. So good yet so short.
