Description
This trail consists of mostly down hill with just a couple of short easy climbs. The trail winds its way down through pine and regenerating native with a few low level technical sections. It also has a few small drops and jumps with most having a bypass around it but not all. At the bottom of to hill, there is a creek crossing but there is a good amount of rocks to hop over to keep your feet dry. Last bit is a short climb back to meet Kim's trail and Short Hauler entrance.
