Description

This trail has great views to the east, and fun dirt jumps near the start. The jumps are mostly beginner, however, some obstacles are for more intermediate to advanced riders. I built most of the jumps years ago. If you can, bring a shovel and help out with a jump or two. About halfway through the trail you'll see a cell tower on the left. That is where the best viewpoint is for a picture or a rest.
