Description

This is a steep descent off the Mill Creek Pipeline trail, with some short technical segments that likely make it not suitable for beginners to attempt to ride. It's the first point of access to the Pipeline Trail from the entrance on the canyon road, which makes it very popular with hikers and runners. Bikers who ride down this route should expect to encounter uphill pedestrians.

Packed with extremely tight and annoying switchbacks, but diffuses into a fun technical trail with wooden drops that serves as steps for hikers.
