This trail is all rock, and runs from the top of Sunset Ledge. It starts with two rapid-fire short rock drops, then proceeds down smooth but steep ledge. Once it gets into the trees, be prepared for a short turn and another short drop off of a jagged rock. Eventually this joins the TrailGrunt Glade trail. Fall exposure exists, and you should hike this trail before you ride it for the first time.

With sufficient snow coverage, this would be an upper-intermediate / easy-black ski run.
