This trail begins by going through the west gate and turning left. You will stay left and drop off the small wooden plank drop to start. The trail continues down the ridge through a series of big berms and over a couple jumps.

You can cut left and ride back up the gravel road, or you can continue down the slope past the large radio tower. There are some big berms down low followed by a drop at the bottom of the trail. Stay left to ride back up Tim's trail, straight to continue up Stem Cell, or take a hard right and come back up Qit Qit.

This trail is primarily a downhill ridden trail.

      		 Probably the best maintained trail right now. Very ridable, but I wish someone from the city would come through to cut the tumbleweeds.

      		 Tumbleweeds are cleared most of the way down, but then you'll have to turn around and head back up the way you came. The let'er send trail is also...

      		 Okay, the top part is clear of tumbleweeds, so the jump line is good. Lower down, some major patches of tumbleweeds make it almost unrideable....
