This trail is advanced & should not be ridden by beginners.

Description

If you like gnarly technical riding, this once rogue trail is for you! With ledge drops, rock gardens, rollers, & fast singletrack, this trail has a little bit of everything for advanced riders. While it is not mandatory, this trail is best enjoyed downhill. Shuttle to the start, or park in the lower lot & ride up CR375.

Once you reach the top, enjoy the most challenging & technical trail Buena Vista has to offer. Be sure to take the time to scope out your lines before sending it. With features like "Flight for Life", it's best to proceed with caution. There's no shame in walking. Hike-a-bike is better than break-a-leg.

About halfway down, you'll cross CR375e. If you've bitten off more than you can chew, hang a left to connect back to CR375 & enjoy a smooth gravel downhill. If you're ready for more, cross the road & carry on. Continuing down, you'll pass through Turtle Rock Campground & your last chance to bail onto CR375. The final section to the bottom may be short, but it makes up for it with technicality & plenty of rock features that will put you back into the parking lot on CR375.

As a novice , I chose to go in reverse. Carrying my bike through all the technical and enjoying the dirt when I could find it. Was a great workout 12.9mi — 2h 30m

This is an extremely advanced trail. You'll injure yourself if you do not take it very seriously. Very well built and very fun. 6.3mi — 2h 05m

Can't get into this thing. Way too much slow jank, forced through the tightest most awkward gaps. Overhyped. Also the Jeep road climb sucks.
