Skill Saw starts at the entrance of a parking area, across from Monte Carlo (the map says this is Monte Carlo, but alas, it is not). Climbs nicely for about 1/4 mile, intersects with Prince Creek Rd and picks back up on other side. Continues to climb and sweep back and forth through more singletrack. Towards the end there are a few camping spots just off the trail, so keep an eye out for randoms. Trail becomes Creek Side (at the Creek Side sign). The decent rips as fast as you want it to Signs and trail are well marked.
