Mostly uphill with a few quick descents where it pays to carry speed into the next uphill. Scrambler has 2 steeper sections that will challenge newer riders. There is an optional rock rollover to the right of the trail on an uphill and an optional rock on to the left on the last downhill that can be rolled or jumped from.
Access Info
Entrance to the Pines section of Hydrocut trails from the actual hydrocut.
