Description

If very steep chunky descents, sharp rocky switchbacks, and blistering two track are your style..This trail is for you!

It's one of the courses in the Utah Gravity Mountain Bike Race Series. Beyond the steep and technical nature of this trail, there are some spectacular mountain vistas and beautiful red rock cliffs. I have done it on an xc bike, but more travel is good. You can hike-a-bike the most difficult sections and still have a great ride.

Wildfire smoke makes it hard to breathe, but it does make the light look nice.
