Description

This trail is best as a descent! It is primarily a downhill mountain bike trail, it can be ridden in either direction but If you are going to climb be aware that downhill traffic will be traveling at a fast speed. The best route is to climb up Towers. This trail is great when connected with Loggers and Sawmill Trail for a nice lengthy and fast pace downhill run.

A fast and flowy descent. No technical obstacles here, just a few banked turns and a short, amazing downhill ride. — 0h 01m
