The trail begins with some sweeping loamy turns into some steep switchbacks. The trail then goes into some techy rock gardens with a steep chute mixed in the middle. You then enter an open section that you can ride with a ton of speed. Very fun trail to test your skills.

Access Info

Ride up Traverse trail from the West entrance on Ridge Road.
