Old road that leads up the gut. Locals never ride it but tourists always seem to want to avoid climbing beautiful singletrack. Strange.

Tourists have no issues climbing this trail
Best way to get to Slabs and Flow Coaster. It avoids having to ride back on yellow brick road.

      Steeper climb but 40 mins to Rusty Muffler and I took a lot of breaks. I’d say it beats YBR and Neverland by far.

      There’s a crashed car here it’s look very recent

      Steeper than other climb trails in the network but it gets you up the mountain in 30% less time than Yellow Brick Road and Neverland. It’s somewhat shaded other than the bottom. An abandoned destroyed car litters the trail after the creek crossing.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
