Crossing at the rock bridge over the river and heading north east provides the greatest challenge for the rider. A long technical trail with two short but difficult climbs that only a select few have ever cleaned. Eventually connecting at the 4 corners, this provides the option to head over to 5 bridges or back to the main trail across the newly constructed wooden bridge.
