Pretty much a straight downhill from the lookout point. Lots of roots/rough terrain. It is smart to find a line that works for you as the turn can be pretty tricky. Links up with beaver flats at the creak crossing

This trail is unsanctioned.

 I hiked up. The rooty section is still rideable. Further up gets extremely overgrown to the point it's not rideable.

      Another trail I made back in the day. Originally an upline to get to the trails above but also a good downhill line as well.

      I would say the old DM group that used to partake up at the top were the ones behind naming my trails as I guess someone had to.

      Ride down, not up this trail. Old school section of trail here, linking to the bunny trail if you want to skip rimjob.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
