This trail offers a quick, fun downhill or a short, technical climb depending on the direction you choose. Downhill is almost a green run but the rocks and roots and often wet conditions add some challenge.

Access Info

Downhill access connects from the pole line (Pippy Park 8/9) across from the Rock Garden entrance. Uphill access can be found by the ski hut ruins at Pippy Park 1.
