This is 1.6 miles of excellent singletrack through pinyon pine and juniper forest with 629 feet of descent that connects with Solar Coaster. Recent trail work has this trail in pristine condition. There are four ways down from the rest area and this is the best trail (Elk Canyon is a close second). There are also two primitive ridge roads that are enjoyable.

This trail connects with Gutterball (via Solar Coaster and Elk Canyon) to take you to the fence line at the bottom, but you can vary your route each time down. If you miss the road that takes you east over the ridge and into Paine Basin, you can still have an enjoyable ride as there are only two primitive roads with no cars allowed and they both go south. Since one dead ends at the radio tower and the other dead ends at an overlook of Independence Valley, you can't get lost. Just turn around, head north, and you'll eventually end up at the rest area where your car is.
