Description

Paint It Black can be accessed by climbing either High Rocks Climb or Copperhead Road. The trail starts directly behind the trail kiosk at the top of Wolf Mountain at the end of Copperhead Road just across from the start of Evergreen. It is the second most difficult downhill option at Ride Kanuga Bike Park and features lots of large, mandatory gap jumps and drops, natural tight terrain, and a massive tabletop near the bottom.

This trail requires a ton of speed since most of the features do not have a go around. The trail crosses over Copperhead Road shortly after the beginning and connects to the end of Southern Style and Hemlock Epoch before ending at the main trail kiosk intersection of Ride Kanuga Connector Trail, the start of Copperhead Road and the end of First In Flight.
