Take this trail to complete a full DH run at Sugarcamp Upper Rawhide connects with Rawhide and ends at the old skylift parking area. Currently, there is not a way back into the trail system after finishing the trail, but there is an option to ride the pavement back to Arrowhead trailhead, or up the mountain to the Sugarcamp trailhead. These two trails are some of the more steep, tight, and technical on the mountain. All hand built by the locals and and just an incredible trail here in KY/Sugarcamp!
