Description
The Exit Trail at !Dark Mountain has undergone some nice bike-specific changes in 2017, including more berms and rollers and a longer descent overall. This trail can be accessed by the Core Trail or the Exit Trail Connector off of the Lake Loop (#5). There's one rooty section at the start of the trail from the Core Trail end and a short section of rocks at the beginning section of the downhill.
