This section of trail is either really steep and loose, OR narrow. Fortunately it's never both. 2-3 very tight switchbacks can result in a bad day for those who don't make it.


Typically used as a downhill for Wasatch Crest runs, a lot of folks ride up the road, then down Pipeline and exit here. There are a lot of hikers in this section, so don't blindly rally down at a speed you can't stop at
