Description

An alternate ending to the Poleta Canyon Trail that is just about as fun for those with the skills to ride it. Make a left in the meadow and climb to the top of the ridge, before enjoying a steep descent straight down.

At the bottom, you'll cross a ridge and start pushing up.

Eventually, you'll again descend on a steep doubletrack down into the Poleta OHV area, where you can find some fun single and doubletrack to end on.
