This trail is tucked behind a residential area. Shuttleable. Can be VERY BUSY Watchout for elderly hikers, lots of 'dog walkers' and the neighborhood kids. Steep, rooty, super fast. Couple bridges to cross, blind corners. Ride Aware!

Grade climbing back up tips out at 15% a few times

Access Info

SW Ascension Drive and SW Mistletoe Drive is the upper entrance. One Parking Spot at the base/exit at SW Fern. Pickup spot if shuttling.

 Tree down. Cannot access the trail from Fern St. You'll need to go up to Lauren Lan and descend the switchbacks.

 Good downhill bike trail but not really intended for bikes as there is a very sharp turn at the bridge that you'll want to manage very carefully....
