Description

This is one of the less technical trails at Soquel Demo Forest. There is a section of rock garden half way through, followed by a short steep climb, but otherwise it's super fun and flowy.

You can access this trail from the Ridge Trail. Return to the parking area via Hihn's Mill Road - it will be a grind.

There was one down tree on the trail. A really fast trail with no traffic compared with flow.
