Trail Overview
AOP trail 6 - Descension is a mild downhill trail that starts off as a dirt flat, and ends with a deeply rutted and eroded section. The bottom half rut also has an exposed tree root. You have 3 options: Straddle the rut, stay on the high side of the rut if you have a narrow enough wheelbase, or get right into the nitty gritty for the most control.

Difficulty
80% of this trail is a green, easy trail rated under a 3. However, the eroded section at the end swallows up a 40" tire off camber(See photos) to be about 36" vertically which bumps it up to a 6. When dry this will still be an easy trail, and should not offer much of a problem, but when wet body damage is possible.
