If you are up for a challenge this is your trail. Prudential starts either right off the back side of the outhouse near the parking lot, or just off Popcorn Blue if ridden the other direction.

If you start near the outhouse (South) side don't be fooled by the moderate trail surface. About half way through is where the challenge begins. This trail is loaded with rocks often with multiple line choices. While there are many ride arounds, this trail is certain to challenge riders of almost any level.
