    Jump

Generally accessed from the Klamath Ridgeview Trail and ridden downhill to take advantage of a few jumps built near the bottom of a steep descent. The little jump route forks rider's right from the main trail. It is rarely ridden, often a little overgrown and is easy to miss entirely. It cuts back and forth across the main trail two times. This trail is often the last one to see a weed wacker, so be prepared for head-high grass is places.
