Drop down a quick rocky section to a mellow downhill with a few water bars.

Downhill is awesome and quick; some tricky roots toward the end.

A quick but fun downhill that has a rawer and more natural feel than the other area descents, Wolf Branch offers up some nice variety in Bent Creek. 1.2mi — 0h 05m
