This is the east side of the Phosphate trail that is suggested as a downhill trail. It flows pretty well at the top with some embedded rocks and roots here and there, but mostly buff. The switch backs are pretty wide a bermed pretty well, so you can keep up some speed, but keep an eye out for hikers and equestrians coming up the opposite way.

It’s fun! Not the best downhill trail, but it’s good.

Beautiful flow downhill in soft dirt banks, it’s a treat that lasts a while

It was one-way in 2018 but not any more.
