Overview

This has moderate climbing and a long sustained downhill that is incredibly fast! A local favorite!

Description

Starting at the parking lot, enter through the lookers left gate and start climbing the Hogback Highway for about 1 mile. Hogback eventually traverses the mesa before passing through Miller High Life hub (go straight here) and finally descends quickly to Wall Street.

Climb Wall Street street for a mile and enjoy the Hogback views. Top out at the Notorious B-Side hub and angle right to Middle Wall Street. Enjoy the tech challenges of Middle Wall Street before poking out to Cucuy De Los Cielos. This is where the fun begins! Descend Cucuy De Los Cielos as fast as your wheels can take your over doubles, drops, step ups and step downs.

The trail eventually blazes through the junipers and meets up with the 2nd half of Notorious B-Side or "B's bottom". Enjoy more "single-park" descending until you reconnect with Hogback Highway. Climb Hogback Highway for just a couple minutes before making a right onto Cheap Sunglasses. Enjoy the big sight lines and undulating descent of Cheap Sunglasses to the parking lot. Just in time to crack a cold one under the Hogback picnic structure!
