Land OwnerGlorieta Adventure Camps
Jagged Axe is a fun, difficult downhill trail used in the 2016 Big Mountain Enduro. There are numerous drops on the trail, most with a B-line, as well a short rocky ridge section that can be intimidating at speed. The trail is best accessed by a purpose built singletrack that gains the ridgeline that Jagged Axe largely adheres to.
