This is an alternate to the crazy-hard "notch" that has a few super-tight switchbacks but less steep sections.

To get down the first part, y'all gotta be on some kinda somthing. Watch this on youtube, pretty epic. Easy enough for rooks like me to walk down and enjoy the rest of this trail

The line down the cliff face is best described as a pro line. Maximum fall hazard, lack of runout, and generally Sandy/ loose conditions as opposed to clean sandstone. It’s difficult to get a bike down solo.

Nice steep and rocky trail. 2 tight steep switchbacks, both are intimidating but not too difficult for a skilled rider
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
