This trail has it all. Steep and techy, to fast and flowy, to skinny and scary. This is a shuttle lap that is not car friendly, so bring a truck or your eBike.

Access Info

Follow the mine road up until you go through several water drainage ditches along a flat straight stretch, after the final ditch you will take the road/trail on your left and follow that until you get to the view point looking back at Palmer. Look for bike tracks heading downhill.
