Easy flowing trail that has some berms and even a little bit of jumps. Nothing big, just enough to get your wheels off the ground. After the bridge, there are some bumps, but you can roll everything. This trail can get brake bumps, so don't expect it to always be smooth.

Access Info

Off the lift, go straight forward, and go right at the intersections.

      Solid, smooth, green, minimally, pedally.

      Probably the best bike park green trail I’ve ever ridden.
