Trail Overview

This is a fun little trail that is a little less intense than trails like Jackhammer or Wrecking Ball. Many of the obstacles on this trail have a bypass. Of course, if you choose to do all the obstacles you can have fun in all kinds of different size rigs. About halfway up and when most of the fun obstacles are done you can opt to turn left onto Nightmare, or continue up the main trail. When you get to the top you can cruise right out of Kings Veto bypass and into the desert or head to Fisher Mountain.
