Climbing trail that will get you off the road and take you from Wally Junior to across the powerlines and across GoViral all the way to the top of Temple Dogs. Locally called "The Saloon". Cross the road here and continue on up to near the bottom of Tomcatps://www.trailforks.com/trails/tomcat-293513/]Tomcat[/L] Ridge. Multiple exits including one off to CycloTherapy. Another exit onto GoViral to the right to get to top of DH. The grade has been kept minimal so should be good for most riders. This is primarily a CLIMB trail.
