Fun low berms.

Access Info

The trail head is a little tricky to identify at top because there are some forks. Head to the middle and then take the single-track to the left.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Caution: It is easy to miss this trail and take the wrong one. There are many trails in this area that are impassable for aMTB. This trail is mostly aMTB1, but an off-camber situation has developed at a trail intersection near the bottom. Some adaptive riders will need a spot
