Land OwnerUSFS
The top starts with a deep and steep moto rut. It's fast and tight below the entrance trench. Midway down, the crux is a short steep section of rock and root drops called the waterfall. The majority of the trail is good moderate riding with a handful of very difficult technical sections.
Best as a downhill but can be ridden uphill with a lot of hike-a-bike.
