Zest features several bridges throughout, as well as smaller drops, jumps and rolls. There is a larger optional drop about a third of the way down. A mellow climb at the end brings you to the Trip Power moto trail from which you can ride up to Mongo or down to the main FSR near the entrance to Skidder.

Access Info

First trail on the right after a short climb up Tower Rd, directly across the road from the exit of Repo.

A few holes after the bridges, will be repaired when we get some moisture in the ground. Otherwise all good.
