Short route that takes you up to the top of conical hill and down the expert tracks.

Great easy fun trail, definitely for a more experienced rider, in my opinion too short and not enough jumps but otherwise a very enjoyable trail.
Zchen32
Plenty of fun. Quite gnarly for the inexperienced rider. Had to coast on the brakes most of the way. Thoroughly enjoyed it except the climb up.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
