Welcome to the land of steep fire road climbs and rowdy, loose, sketchy singletrack descents. As the name...
Jrhockney
Did you just got to five points and realize you don't have time to go up the grind or firemans hill and you want a fun way to get to deadass? This is a much more fun way of getting there than the ridgeline connector. Its mostly a straight blue black level trail that begins with a short but mildly difficult climb and has several rocky mildly steep rolls and can be ridden with alot of speed to the lower ridge part...which is split up on the map for some reason.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
