“A flowing and technical trail loop connecting Intemann Trail to Section 16 Trail.”
— Allen TannerElectric Mountain Bikes Unknown
Features -none-
Description
The descent from Intemann Trail is fast, flowy with lots of whoop-dee-doos. After turning south through a meadow, two technical turns gets you to the overlook.
The trail turns south, climbs slightly, and winds around some narrow blind corners around cliff segments (good idea to ring a bell or shout out your position). A very steep and very cool technical rock feature breaks up the winding trail. The trail then climbs up towards Section 16 Trail going over several more sections of whoop-dee-doos and banked corners.
