The Once-ler cut down the trees because they were excellent material to make products he invented called "Thneeds". Unlike the Onceler in the Lorax, our trees have been replanted and continue to grow alongside our trails at Whiskey Run

The Onceler connects Papa Wheelie to the intersection of Old Bones and New Bones. This trail provided an intermediate flow trail experience, and allows you to take a direct line in to Old Bones at trail speed.

The entire trail is rollable, but advanced riders can jump the tables and insloped style roller doubles that run the length of the trail.

Please do not push your bike back uphill. Use the upper part of New Bones to return to the top of The Onceler
