Description

Sandy Climb starts near the picnic table and steeply travels uphill. The trail has a very sandy and rocky surface. There is an alternate bypass near the top that allows an easier way around one of the rock fields.

This trail ends at the intersection of Sandy Bowl and the Intermediate Loop.

Rip plenty of berms on Lakeview and Dizzy.

Three Sisters downhill. The left wooden feature is a 12-15" drop with a downhill landing. The center wooden feature is much taller, but an easy ramp is installed so it can be rolled. The jump to the right has a large gap that is for the most experienced riders only.

The upper part of the trail is much more rocky than the section along the lake. Here is a flowing berm towards the beginning of the downhill.

Rock garden. A bypass was built in 2012 for an easier alternative around this section.
