A trail that lives up to its name. Trail is the fastest on wagon wheel 29 bikes but is enjoyable on all bikes. Whole trail is practically on some form of rock from crushed granite to big rock gardens. In the middle is a nice man made rock garden that requires technical ability at slower speeds.There is also an section near the end with a couple of loose drops off of small boulder piles above the trail to the left, which can be fun to session. It is not marked on the trail, but most people stop to attempt it or take a break in the shade. Overall trail adds nice variety to the Tamarancho loop.
