This trail is long awaited alternative route (walkers and MTBers) to the steep bitumen road nearby. It is a smooth flowy trail with good fun berms and some small rock shelves that will get better as the trails ages. It briefly crosses a gallery rainforest area at the bottom of the hill which makes a nice change from the open Eucalypt woodland that is typical of the rest of the reserve.
