A continuation of Pseudo-Tsuga - Part 1 and Pseudo-Tsuga - Part 2, featuring a few small rollable jumps, a scenic bridge to check out a waterfall, and finishes with a high-speed roller coaster of a section featuring the best berms of the entire trail.

Takes riders down to the lower Diamond Head parking lot. There's a reason why that parking lot is generally referred to as the Pseudo lot - the trail takes riders right there.

      Hasn’t gotten less dry and blown up from the last report. A couple sections of “good grip” to “no grip” because of the dust.

      Hung up snags over the trail. Supporting trunk is at least 18” thick at the lowest point reachable.
