Description

Down Uppity is a good option to finishing Chutes & Ladders if you prefer more twists and turns in your ride. Follow the sign to Vegetarian Loop, but then branch left and follow the particularly skinny trail up, down, and around washes and small lumpy features in the cow pasture - it's scenic and surprisingly fun.

Several sections of the trail have steep dropoffs, and this trail is skinnier than most in this area, so take some care and dial it back just a hair.
