Also known as the magic carpet ride this in the down direction is a fun fast flowing trail that end with a short fast drop down the "yellow brick rd" (a rock armoured section) just before Laurel Run Rd. This is a great beginner through experienced individual trail that is a great end to any ride. Going up you will lose a lung climbing the "yellow brick rd" but then it is a gradual warm. The section before/after the intersection with Kettle Trail is definitely more challenging and is black diamond

Access Info

Off Laurel Run Rd of from Kettle trail or North Meadows Rd
