Starts off of Aunt Betty just before trees on your left. Multiple step downs flow down the valley. Go slow off the second drop to avoid going to flat. Some fun alternate lines connect back to the main line, look for the little native section that ends in a chute. Finishes at bottom of Tin Man. Let the wild rumpus start.
