Unzip (Trail C.6) is an extension of the very popular Kessel Run. Kessel Run is one of the easiest, faster, more flowy trails in the Project Site. By simply extending the trail south, riders will be able to extend their riding experience. It also creates excellent access to the south end of event area/campground, helping decrease the congestion at the parking lot during peak times by allowing campers on the east side of 18 Road to bypass the lower lot. Rider's desiring a longer loop with Kessel & Trail C.6 can cross 18 Road on the south end and enter the campground area for easy access to the Edge, Trail E.2, Prime Cut and the moderate climb back up to the upper parking lot/campground.
