What a fantastic trail! Lots of optional boulder rides. Many steep downs, all rollable except for one about half way mark that is best done as a drop. Great views and great routing.

This was my favorite trail in the area. Best ridden down, from west to east. It has multiple fun drops and alt-lines. Take Sunshine Kitty up to access this trail.
