As this trails name implies, one wrong move on this trail and you can slide, glide, tip or flip. If you survive, you'll have had a hell of a time, if not you'll wish you would have taken a "Quick Way Out". This trail is a continuation of Powerlines and is as wide as a road but with many small to medium boulders and rock faces that would love to meet your face. Consider this your warning.

      I rode this trail hoping for a techy downhill. Unfortunately it has been covered over and is now a gravel road. This trail entry should be deleted, and the GPS track should be added onto the end of the Powerlines doubletrack trail.

      Really enjoyed this trail. Lots of loose stones. Not for the faint of heart. If you can keep your balance you will make it to the end.

      Pretty fun, straight, bumpy downhill trail. Leads to the road.
