This is a local's favorite It's high on the mtn, and no easy way to get there, so it's not used at all by the tourists. Local's love it! There are trees and stumps to wind through, a pedal strike could be bad here!

The last 1/3 is extremely steep (DOWN), but there are no drops to worry about. Just turns on a 100% grade (45 degree pitch)! This section can be sketchy in the Fall with wet leaves and ice/snow.
