Overview

Climb Broadside to the top of Full Sail. The downhill on Full Sail is an excellent flow-style trail with lots of burms and optional jumps. Exceptionally fun!

Need to Know

The trailhead area can be a little confusing. There are two trailheads in the area about 1/2 mile apart: Schultz Tank Trailhead and the Sunset Trailhead. The Broadside trail leaves from the Sunset Trailhead. The Full Sail trail comes out on the back side of Schultz Tank, nearer to the Schultz Tank Trailhead. The two are connected by the bottom of the Sunset trail, so parking at either place is ok.

Description

Start this route by parking at Schultz Pass trailhead. From there start up Broadside Trail. Broadside climbs gently up the north side of Dry Lake Hills through open meadows and old-growth forest. Deer and sometimes elk can be seen here. Wildflowers are excellent in this zone in the summer. After the gradual climb up Broadside, the trail will come to a four-way intersection where Sunset crosses and Full Sail begins.

The descent on Full Sail is super fun and engaging. There are many berms, tabletops, some jumps, and fast sections to pump through. Full Sail is built to be a modern flow trail with options for advanced B lines. The trail wraps back around to the Schultz Pass trailhead, Completing the loop.
