Description
The trail kicks off with a sharp turn, but transforms quickly into a flat traverse across the hill, with stunning views the whole way along. However, the real fun begins when you take a left turn, and head downhill. The trail ranges from sandy, tight turns towards the top, to big bumps near the bottom, and long, straight stretches in between.
