Description

This is a tough climb or a fast technical descent. The theme of this trail is very rocky. The top two miles traverse a constant supply of rocks with lots of twists and turns and a few small (6-8") ledges. As you start to see more dirt and leave the rocks behind, it will get a little steeper downhill prior to meeting up with Lower Sugar Loaf.

on Backdoor for first time.. need a helmet cam, next time - super technical with incredible mix of lava rock and table rock, and just plain dirt and rocks.. Cleverly formed trail to capture a lot of the available riding surfaces :) Loved it!

saw this rock was my trailbed and immediately knew I was going the right way - great intro spot to show the type of terrain to come next..

the toughest climb was right here.. on the downhill out of Backdoor (!!?). .. where I was standing, it isn't something to just rip up.. gotta be a secure rider to do it.. not me! :D walk-the-rock T..
