This trail is a series of very fun packed dirt chutes, rolling uphills, and a few optional small drops. The downhill is extremely fun and flowy but also fairly short. You will end in a sandy wash, cross this and the climbing trail will be to your left. The dirt in the chutes is prone to erosion, so after heavy rains or heavy use the trails tend to get rutted out.
