This intermediate trail is well packed and doesn't contain as many features as some other trails at RM, however there are some larger rocks and a few optional features at the bottom. It makes for fast riding, especially on the way down.

      More flow the orange goose loop. Not as much tech but still a blast at speed. Lots of tight twisty turns. Great trail and gets a bit enduro is hat the very bottom
