Updated for 2025: There is a new half mile of singletrack off Mt Emily road. Tight turns. Some steep sections. A rock roll. Fun stuff. If you liked the old entrance or Compound Fracture, you'll like this.

The trail starts with about a 1/3 of a mile of tech singletrack with small rock rolls, drops, and tight turns. It then hits the old road bed and is about a mile of jumps and drops. Mostly tables, some gaps. The biggest is 20’ lip to landing.

      Finally got out on it today and man, that top section pushed me. Awesome build. Felt very awake by the time I got to the jumps!

      Appreciate the new top section. Really gnarly with many left turn switch backs…

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
