Fun, short descent that connects the upper trails to the lower trails. Small drop about half way down & a small ladder drop just after, there are also a couple of small jumps. A strong climber could probably make the climb but is primarily used as a downhill.

Access Info

From the top it is located off of AC/DC about half way between The Office & the Doghouse. The terminus is at the junction of Midway, Dirtbag & Upper Levels.

      Wish this was ridden more. Fun, little steep descends and tech.

      This one had something. If you ride tech you shouldn't be over your head. Get your enduro on. 800 bars... watch the trees. And think light thoughts.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
