Welcome to the land of steep fire road climbs and rowdy, loose, sketchy singletrack descents. As the name...

Lol yeah no cliff drops (from the picture) here unless you find your own non-trail route off the side of the ridge xD For some reason this was split from the upper ridge section on the map even though there is no
break in the trails. This section involves easy steep slope good for picking up speed for the last blue black level climb to deadass, skinny pete, and maybe even 47 degrees (for you crazy people lol).

The cliff drop photos are from Pawnee Grasslands and a good 80 miles away from LHOHV.
