The first half of this trail, the climbing section is double track. Once you get to the top you get an excellent down. The first section gets gnarly the faster you ride it. As you get lower on trail it opens up some and smooths out. There are some fun small optional jumps that can be hit at high speed. Its long way up for a quick down but it is worth it.

 Down the mountain the fast way. Has some steep/rocky sections that won’t suffer foolish brake technique or line selection lightly.
