One of (if not) the most challenging trail on the mountain, Rawhide is a downhill only trail with a well earned black diamond rating. It is highly advised to scout all features before riding if you are unfamiliar with advanced downhill runs. Rawhide dead ends at the bottom, so have a shuttle plan in mind or you will be facing a long ride on the blacktop in any direction.
