The main descent segment of this trail will gradually be transformed into a flow trail with jumps, berms, and drops. The exit from Outer Limits had a table top added in 2017.

Wide double track trail with a steep descent followed by a gradual climb that takes you to the bottom of the Mogul switchback climb.
