This trail has a very punchy climb to the top of the ridge, from there the downhill is steep, off camber, and rocky. These factors make braking and bailing out very hard, commitment to the downhill is required. Trail can be difficult to follow toward the end as it is all rocks.

Access Info

This trail is accessible toward the end of the Beaver trail.

      Loose, rocky and rarely ridden. Some parts of the trail are no longer visible due to lack of use.

      Loose rock climbs to the top with fun rock hop ups. My first crash tumble of the trip. Wear your armor!
