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

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