Trail Overview

This narrow, short trail is easily overlooked but is fun and challenging and offers spectacular views. It has some sandy off-camber action as well as some rocky hills. At the north end of the route, the most difficult area has over three-foot erosion ruts. A shortcut has been created to avoid that area if it feels too risky to attempt.
