Bomb Dog is a very fast descent that is almost 4 miles in length. The trail begins at the end of Cassidy. Before you get into the descent stop and have a visit with Floyd, Anniston/Calhoun County's first bomb sniffing police canine. His headstone is just on the left of the trail. From here get ready for one of the newest and best flow-style descents available anywhere. It's about two miles long and features plenty of rollers, camel and table-top jumps. This section of trail is very progressive and is super fun for riders of all abilities. Getting air is up to you After the big descent you'll keep the smile as you contour, climb and have another short descent. The final climb brings you back to Baby Bear and the trailhead.
