Shaded steep dirt trail made specifically for mountain bikes. Has several log drops, and it is best to avoid ascending it. Instead, use the Mt. Bigelow Dirt road to climb to the top. Climbing up Bigelow road, the trail entrance will be to the left. It is unmarked and somewhat easy to miss if you don't know it's there.

Hikers have become aware of this trail too, so be careful not to hit people during peak hours (like late morning Saturdays).

Disclaimer

Be wise and considerate so we can continue to use this trail!
