“Steep, winding singletrack that connects from Pie Traynor Lot to the Koto Buki Trail.”

Description

This fast trail starts at the Pie Traynor Lot and connects you to Koto Buki Trail on the West Ridge, avoiding road travel - why take the road when you can take singletrack!

Access to the right of the Sharon Shelter, traverse the South Ridge behind Sharon Shelter, pass by the McCanless shelter, take a right into the woods (before coming out into parking lot) for great downhill descents, cross Babcock Blvd (be careful of cars!), enter woods again to left of guardrail, switchback down a steep hill, take a left at the Y and climb the hill, which puts you onto West Ridge Road across from the Koto Buki Trail entrance.

A fun, fast trail to start, then some great downhills. Finishes with a steep climb.

Read description. Crossing Babcock Blvd is terrifying. Cars go way to fast for a road through a park. If you make it across alive the trail starts up again just to the left of the end of the guardrail. Apr 10, 2019
