Description

This is the most technical way down off of the Monarch Crest Trail. A number of fast rocks and roots will keep your attention the whole way down. There are lots of moto whoops, rock gardens and bermed turns with about a dozen increasingly deep creek crossings.

This descent feels more remote than other descent options off of the Crest.
