TTFs on TrailRock Garden
Descenso muy divertido, la primera parte es un poco empinada pero después la inclinación no es tan grande, tiene algunas partes con Rockgardens bastante buenos y juguetones. La bajadita termina un poco después de la pluma justo al lado de la única casa que se encuentra en esa zona.
Access Info
Para entrar al Trail se tiene que llegar por el albergue subir a mano derecha y ya llegando por donde están las torres de energía hay una cancha pintada con unos puntos verdes por allí comienza el trail.
