The top starts out with a little sheepbones sign surrounded by sheep skulls. I am guessing they found a lot, and thus named it. The trail has become quite rough and rocky. It's great for those who want to challenge.

      A trail that has become smoother over time and use. It still has some short, rough and challenging steep pitches that can be powered up. Techy in spots.
