    Rock Face

This trail starts as a gnarly rocky exposed ridge line decent that can be very fast at times as well as very technical. Once you cross the dirt 5200 road the trail turns straight down the hill side and becomes a much faster paced trail with less technical riding and more all out speed than the top half. There are great veiws to be had along the whole trail of the Klamath Basin, Klamath lake and even Mt Shasta, Mt Mcloughlin and Stukel.
