Starting at the upper campground's well head and ending at the main trailhead of Sidie Hollow's trail system. This trail can get fast in a hurry. Hard packed singletrack and large rock protrusions make for a challenging ride. Keep a finger on your brakes when your coming downhill, or gear down for the long haul up.

      Quite a fun downhill and one of the best trails in the system. Unfortunately the double black may scare off a number of people who are capable of riding it. I would say the trail is more of a soft single black. It has one semi-sketchy feature—an off-camber rock wedged next to a tree—followed by a rollable drop. I also got chased by a very fast, ghostly white trail cat that came out of nowhere and disappeared just as fast. Maybe a glimpse of the spirit of Sidie Hollow?

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
