Climbing trail to Zig Zag. For those with the fitness and skill to climb steep rock and rock gardens it's possible to bike the entire climb. Otherwise walking a couple short sections will get you there.
Current elevation shows a big dip on the way up, but I ensure you that it's only up

Too many large baby heads strewn about for me to clean it, otherwise it does the job I guess

This suck of a trail is as good as it can get right now but still push you up to the gem of a zig zag.
