Primarily a descending trail. Ride the sides of the Edison Access road and enter the singletrack by using the turn to the right of the electrical tower. A fun, flowing trail with berms, some drops, and areas of sand. Be cautions of the speed as some turns are unsighted and hikers do climb this trail With regularity.
Starting June 1st, designated for DH Travel only for all users. Be cautious: many do not pay attention to the small sign at the bottom of the trail and may be traveling up it.
