Description

This short and fun section starts right at the trailhead and is the first singletrack segment on all of the rides on the Contrabando trail section. It's usually ridden as the final leg of all rides as well.

There is one steep, technical creek crossing. There is an option to ride the dirt road and skip the singletrack for folks interested in a less technical out and back ride on the jeep trail.
