This is a downhill-optimized flow trail, though it is muti-directional. This is a multi-use trail with a few blind turns, please be aware of much slower moving users along this route. Try to look far ahead to spot those other users to prevent surprises.

This newer addition in the S-Mtn trail system connects from the Jalapeno trail ("Pepper trails"), crossing Spiral Drive, all the way up to the Backbone/Lil Rattler/North Backbone/173 intersection. Look toward great views to the west, of town and S-Mtn to the south for a scenic experience. This trail originally started as a 0.9-mile section but now includes a new 0.6-mile lower extension, built in November 2018, bringing the total up to 1.5 miles.



This trail was designed by Salida Mountain Trails, and built by Tony Boone Trails LLC.
