Description

The first purpose built trail in the Emerald Mountain Area! The trail starts one switchback below the Blair Witch intersection with the fireroad or a short climb (to the left) from where Little Moab spits you out on the road.

The trail is fresh as of 2015 and boasts nearly 100 features including buffed berm turns, flowy rollers, and low-consequence table top jumps that are all rollable.

At the first road crossing, make a slight left on the service road to pick up the next segment and then continue straight through another service road intersection to pick up the last, more old-school technical rocky section.

This downhill can be combined with the backside of Beall - Ridge - Rotary Loop for a nice long ride featuring all types of riding.
