TTFs on TrailDrop, Rock Face, Rock Garden
Starts out with a difficult rock roll entrance at the top, then steep and lots of loose babyheads and lines everywhere. Then singletrack peels off to the left and gives way to slightly less technical, somewhat flowy descent to Middle Trail. Can get rutted out with rain and doesn't feel predictable.
