Description
Relatively flat and free of obstacles, a really fast new-school mountain biking trail. This trail is useful for connecting two major trail intersections: on the North side (downhill) it hits the intersection of Ridge Trail, Arroyo Grande Trail and Cresta Trail and on the South (uphill) it hits the intersection with Stratton Springs Path, Ridge Trail, and South Suburban Reservoir. The trail parallels Chamberlain Trail.
