Trail Overview
This trail has deep mud holes, steep hill climbs, steep hill declines, and sharp breakers. If you are a full-body rig, there will be areas where you may get body damage. Ensure a working winch is present if you are in an SxS or entire body rig. This trail is one of the most challenging trails at Redbird. Having lockers front and rear will be essential, but this trail can be done without lockers and with a winch if you do not want body damage. The trail starts in the big open area on the opposite side of the road that houses Powerline Hill. You will navigate through a heavily wooded section and encounter mud holes before the first hill climb. These hill climbs will challenge you if there has been rain or snow. You will continue down the trail through some tight wooded terrain until you reach a few more steep hill climbs and declines. Next, you will get into the section of steep hill climbs with sharp breakover points followed by steep declines into ravines. You will then follow the creek bed until you reach a hill with roots sticking out. It will be a challenge for complete body rigs to maneuver around the tree at the top without leaning your vehicle's body or top into the tree. Having lockers front and rear will make it easier to stay away from the tree as you go around. Once you have passed the tree, you will continue on the ridge until you drop down the ridge and then back up a steep hill. Several small hills will lead to a ridge before you start dropping down the hill. At the bottom, you will reach the big open area and go to another trail.
