About This Trail

Imported description

The trail is at its best when starting from the Gap Trailhead. The rider is in a downhill mode, taking full advantage of the rolling terrain. The trail can be used as an out and back route. The trail is given an easy rating but riders must be careful because of the steep hill. The 3 Fingers of Death, known as Acid Drops, and the Clavicle Hill should be respected. Biker can ride around the more challenging sections of the trail if they follow the easier routes.
