VHS trail is a fun little section on the north side of the Whitworth Soccer practice field. Start from the gravel road near the entrance gate and go westbound. There are a couple of berms and an A-frame dirt obstacle. It got its name, because well, we found and old VHS tape buried in the dirt when we were building it. Students thought it was a cool relic. Hence the name VHS.
