Follows some ledge from Upper Granite Hills Trails. Sometimes tough to see the start as it's just rock. The bottom of this trail runs very wet when there has been some rain. It's a fun technical trail when dry.

reporter Tons of leaves down make this recently-mapped trail a bit tricky to follow. Overall a great addition.

      This trail is not typically ridden. Sweet down hill at the end.

      A blast when riding down from Granite Hills, but also pretty fun when riding towards Granite Hills, from the bottom.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
