This is a twisty turny trail that has an amazing view at Kyle's Bench (memorial). This trail can cause some trouble for the true beginner rider as it has a couple challenging dips to get in and out of without getting tangled in the manzanita.

Access Info

This can be accessed by Hennekens Ranch Rd heading East OR Barloy Canyon Rd heading West.

      Super fun trail. One of my favs. Can be tight through manzanita sections. Gets water puddled after rains. Blind corners can lead to trouble on speedy sections. Eye's up and ears open.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
