Don't ride when muddy.

Description

This trail is a great way to connect the Military Reserve Trails to the Camelsback Trails. It was carved into a steep hillside and has a bit of exposure. The riding is straightforward, just don't go tumbling off the side of this one.

This trail starts from the top of Sidewinder on the Camelsback side, and connects to 8th Street Motorcycle Trail near the top of Freestone Ridge on the Military Reserve side.
