This trail is a fun way off Upper Scenic. An alternate to riding down the gully (directismo), which is not maintained. Skiddader has some sweeping and blind switchbacks, mini single track, poor traction when soils are dry. The Motto bikes are finding sections of it and using it in places, crossing it in places, now that there is some trail marking to aid navigation down it.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
