Description

Ridden as a quick descent from Tunnel Hill, Chickadee is a rude awakening. The trail begins with two very tight switchbacks, of which are spotted with roots/rocks. After exiting these obstacles, you can let it rip all the way down to Little Vasquez Rd. Be prepared for continuous loose rocks and roots, but nothing too crazy.

You'll be crossing Little Vasquez Creek just before the junction with Little Vasquez Rd. at a sandy spot. This little creek can be raging at times and Chickadee can have running water as well.

This is now an overbuilt moderate feature line that probably won't get a ton of traffic.

There are two deadfalls leaning across this trail.
