Winston is a fall-line Downhill trail dropping down to Guardians. Winston is another one of the steepest trails in the park, but is not as technically challenging and sketchy as Live Oak. Consists of steep dirt chutes in the trees with a couple off camber rocky sections. Gets pretty slippery in the summer when the dirt completely dries out.
