If you like big boulders, rock faces and flowy technical riding, you will love this line. This alternate exit to El Camino keeps you on the Roberts Creek side of Wilson Creek and kicks you out close to the bottom of Second Step, where you can connect out to the highway via 3rd Step or the Pell Road area.
