Description

A moderately fun descent from the Highlands ski area to Castle Creek road. The trail starts with a very steep descent from the summer road consisting of loose rocks and water bars. Definitely not a fun place to fall. After the first switchback the trail becomes more manageable, but expect to be on the brakes the whole way down.

Not worth the ride up. Part of the Power of Four race.
