Description

Sandstone is another fun option for those looking to descend from South Hill. Don't be fooled by how short it is, because this trail packs a lot of fun riding into a small package. This trail takes a rocky, switchback-filled route down the bluff with 2 optional sandstone slabs and the chance to try a committing 3+ ft. drop at the end on rider's left. From the drop, turn right to finish on the waterfall drops or left for some fun flow leading over towards Flowy Squirrel.
