Description

Gold Standard is a fantastic downhill-only trail (west to east) that includes a mix of rocky rollers and obstacles, and a great amount of flow on well-built/bermed corners. The fun starts at the very start and there are no boring sections all the way through to the bottom.

The trail is generally intermediate in difficulty, though as with most trails at Gowdy there are a few more advanced alternate lines.
