This is a favorite downhill trail for riders that like a mix of technical rocks, some little log drops, and generally loose, but not so steep and loose. Some of the big embedded rocks allow you to roll, send or even go around. A little bit of wood work on one turn, and couple wood senders make it fun to air out a bit.

Once you get most the way down the trail traverses along the slope giving you multiple descent options. If you continue along the trail to the end the trail will become the Malicious Woods trail. The actual timberline trail turns right right after the pass under the lift. There you drop down through the trees with some more big rock technical riding. The trail ends with a little sender off what looks like an old car. Pretty easy, you can kind of roll it with just a little speed or boost the whole car out of the woods and put on the show for riders waiting to catch the next lift.
