Description

This trail is the second left off of Shadow Run at the apex of the first big switchback (if riding Shadow Run clockwise). It begins with a good bit of exposure high on the bluff above Laughery Creek. It is kept technical with rocky sections before it heads into the forest on its way towards Center Loop.

Keep your eyes peeled for cool rock work (there is a great bench for two constructed from rock) and optional technical features like skinnies.

Trail very technical in a few section. Many areas with somewhat jagged rocks. Not very forgiving. Lol
