This upper section starts off with a bit of a slow climb. This trail is a bit more primitive than the others, as it requires you to climb some at the start. The trail is also a bit more narrow than the typical resort trail, but is rocky and fun without really being all that difficult. A lot of riders opt to skip this upper section, and ride a bit down the road where they hook up with the main Timberline Downhill Trail.

      This trail is pedally and kind of pointless
