“A remote-feeling technical singletrack along a roller coaster ridge and beside a creek. A technical downhill masterpiece”

Description

This trail is the most technical singletrack trail in the South Mountains. There are not a bunch of views, but if coming down from the top, you'll get some nice technical sections, then a good, more mellow section along Shinny Creek before crossing the creek a few times near the bottom.
