A long fast and steep downhill crafted flowtrail, with berms and loose rock in places. The trail is still bedding down. Really fun at speed but lesser skilled riders should take it slower. There are no drops or gaps or jumps, but multiple berms on steep terrain in places. The last section is a rutted cattle track: fun for experienced riders but a bit sketchy otherwise. A nice little Enduro stage.
