Payne #77 (Part 1)

Trail 77 is an unmarked, narrow descent that drops over 800 feet in 1.3 miles through a series of steep, tight switchbacks. The trail surface is relatively smooth with minimal rocks, but shelfy side-hilling between turns and dense overgrown vegetation add complexity. Though less steep than other nearby black diamond trails, the sustained descent still demands proper braking and body positioning from more experienced riders. The upper section offers more open views before diving into tighter forested terrain.
