Old school New England style trail. Rocky, rooty, likely a little wet in spots. One of the harder trails in the area. Pretty fun on the way down - definitely DO NOT climb this one.

      		 the bottom half has recently been turned into a fun, flowy trail. Upper half still with roots. Downhill only.
