Starts out pretty wide but has a lot of loose rocks until you get into the berms where they are a bit rocky too, but more embedded rocks and brake bumps will rattle you a bit. From there you dump out to the resort service road to pedal to the next section. Here you choose to stay left on the road or dump right into the expert section which is a massive rock garden.

This upper section continues onto the double track to where you can hit Steel Panther or continue on the road a bit further and drop down the bottom of Scarecrow

Access Info
