More of the same great building and riding as you skirt Hooch Creek down to the road. Some fun small wood features and intermediate technical riding with rooty and rocky sections. There are not stunts or features on this section of trail. From the top of Green Goblin you turn left to access this trail. From the bottom of upper Hooch you pedal across the bridge and up the hill.
