Follows a rocky ridge and open forest about 200 m west of the more advanced School of Rock. Technically much easier than School of Rock, it can also be ridden up (except for pushing up a couple of short steep sections), as an alternate access to School of Rock.
Access Info
The most direct route to the trail is climbing the York Creek Road (see to Sweet Duaneage, and Front Door (Lower York Creek Climb)) which is the doubletrack trail just west of School of Rock.
This trail is unsanctioned.
