This trail connects from the bottom of Cliffhanger to near the bottom of Toad Road. It features some fun twisting trail with a great swoopy drop through a small valley. You do climb a fair amount with some fairly steep sections. This isn't a technically challenging ride but it's definitely aerobically tough, especially if you're tired from riding all of the other great trails at Levis.
