Trail Overview
You start out at the bottom sign where Jackhammer and Sledgehammer split. The first section is fun for smaller rigs, but the trail gets more intense as you start to climb. This trail is still easier than Sledgehammer; however, it still has a lot to offer. There are many line choices going up and not much in the way of bypasses. The view from the top of the mountain is pretty cool! This part of the trail runs the ridgeline and is not for the faint of heart. Once you hit the top, you can head right to the Mailbox or out to camp. If you head left, you will be on Jack North.
