Like all lake Pueblo trails, the BLM does not allow trail augmentations. Trash and weed removal only. Please do not risk trail system closure to build features or alter trails.

Description

Perhaps second in fun factor only to Hooters Too, this descent has greater options for line choices. With big drops or easy roller stone ramps, this trail can suit all riders save the newcomers. With smooth flow into and out of a small scale but lengthy section of tech, this is a great trail to hone skills or coach a growing rider's skills in descents or climbs. Many a local have sessioned this lil' run just because it's so darn fun.

When tumbleweeds attack! Stomp them down real good before you throw them off the trail
