Best traveled downhill due to steepness. Great flow. Connects between the John Henry trail and the Blue Mtn singletrack trail. It provides a great alternative to going down John Henry to Valley trail.

Access Info

Best access is via the Valley trail to John Henry to its connection with Rattlesnake Alley.
