Rocket starts at Hub K with a short, but punchy rock garden, and then transitions to a sweet, flowing trail with several rock drain crossings. After the A line rock roll, you'll hit the first of 3 tougher rock gardens. The second one is like a rock pump track, if you can find the flow... try not pedaling and pumping through Rocket rides like you are a rocket flowing through the forest till you get to Hub T where you can choose to go right on Misty Mountain for a gentle climb back to the trails to the north, go straight and ride Heavy Metal for the deepest backcountry experience, or turn left for Misty Mountain to the south.
