This trail is rated blue because of the speed you can carry and options for small air as you jump, duck, and dip through the forest. Low sections can be saturated with mud after heavy rains in the late winter, so if you're leaving tire ruts, please avoid riding. Subject to closures in winter. Be aware of the first few turns and watch your speed, the berms aren't as high as one might hope to really lean into them.
This is a one-way downhill only trail accessed by climbing up Hollerback from the Main (Upper) Parking Lot. It's a quick pedal with a lot of fun

      Super fun, bench cut exposure is steep in a few spots so watch your speed. Took Hollarback up, nice warm up loop.
