This cross country style trail is a summer only trail. The blacklock style soils tend to flood during heavy rains and in the winter season. Please exit at Swam-pass Bypass to climb the gravel road in wet conditions. This is a great easy climb to access the upper trails of Sour Mash (DH only), White Lightning, and Bootlegger. Excellent trail for younger riders as the climbs aren't to arduous.

      One fairly large water puddle. Not muddy due to smooth rock under surface.
