“Trough is a super quick twisty downhill with berms and great flow. ”

Description

Trough starts off the main dirt road located in the middle of the Prince Creek area. Starting at the actual trough the trail gets it name from, the trail winds through the sage brush making it's way down hill to South Porcupine. Almost all the turns have berms, making it easy to rally this quick downhill.

Though it's not marked as a one-way, most people only ride it as a downhill.
