A very fun descent with tight corners and natural features.
Be aware this is a "Dark Blue" trail, probably the most aggressive Blue in the park.

Trail is a black. Not even dark blue. NOCS should get it changed to black.

In my opinion, Twista is a ‘Black’ traik with all the steep rocky erosion.

Fast and Flowy,
this is probably my favourite trail in Kal.
couple laps of this then shoot down into no boats on your way back out.
