      You don't need to take Descent Connector to reach this trail. Follow Rattlesnake Ridge along the ridge and hang a left into a small trail. That will take you right into Slappy. Avoid the big drop!

      Nice long steep sections, interesting turns with a gnarly rock garden at the bottom.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
