Land OwnerBureau of Land Management
This section of the JEM trail is amazing. The whole ride down is full of fast flowing turns. There are a couple of technical sections but nothing to stress about. Definitely worth the short climb... and definitely worth doing more than one lap
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
Trail width 24-48 inches. Camber is mostly on. No exposure. A couple of very doable downhill tech sections with drops. Not recommended for a climb.
Fast and fun. The jewel of adaptive biking here.
