Land OwnerPlumas National Forest
A ripping section of downhill, that can be fun on almost any bike. Starts with some steep but well built switchbacks, transitions into some flowy sidehill amidst wildfire burn, and finishes with a supreme section of banks and rollers. Can also be ridden uphill, and is a moto legal trail. Please yield to uphill traffic.
