One of Idaho's premier flow trails Berm & Ernie features berms a' plenty! A few rock gardens exist towards the top of the trail, including a few optional black diamond lines. After the rock features its all speed and berms, with few fun doubles in between. The bottom section is all flow and high speed through the trees!

 Encountered a badger in the third berm corner. Might have had a burrow exit on the top, was too busy dodging badger to see for sure.
