TTFs on TrailRock Face
Rarely steep with a wide variety of slabby and rocky terrain, in a good
mixture of descending and all-mountain shredding. At powerlines, turn
left and after 200m of pedaling, you will see two trailheads nearly sideby-
side. First is lower Goose Bumps, next is part two of Ledges.
This trail is unsanctioned.
