      The name of the old jeep road is called Rock Shock.

      Riding Shock Rock down is one of the funnest downhill sections of trail in this area. The trail is an old two track that’s wide enough for a car. XC guys will enjoy taking this trail up. Trail and All mountain guys will enjoy the down, on one condition: your suspension is dialed in. If you are on a hard tail or short travel bike this may not be as fun. With a properly tuned suspension you can really fly through the chunder and endless rock gardens and slabs. It really isn’t all that steep but it’s a fun decent for this area. Other trails intersect Shock Rock, making it possible to transfer to some of the other single tracks on the mountain.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
