Trail Description:
Trail begins with a long steep climb on a logging road. (But you can shuttle up). When you reach the top, the decent consists of log runs, nine foot drops, elevated sections, rock drop offs, whoops, rolling drop-ins, doubles, step downs, teeter-totters, and huge burms. This ride is like a roller coaster, a roller coaster ride from hell!!!!!

The ride is for advanced riders only and the trail is marked with black diamonds. If you cannot handle the really advanced stuff, you can follow the little yellow dots down the hill. If you have to follow every yellow dot on the trail.... go ride somewhere else!

How to get there:
From "Cle Elum Bike and Hike", 407 East 1st Street, Cle Elum WA. Travel west and take a right on Bullitt St., go left on 2nd St. Go aprox, 2 miles west and take a right on Shaft St. (across from High School). Take very next right, travel up to the top of the hill (always travel up hill), Take a left at the top of the hill (at a T in the road). A half a mile up you will run into a yellow gate - Travel up (it seems like forever). The road will Y, so stay right. Take a big breath because this is your last climb, we call it "The Wall". At the top of this climb the road will T, take a left and keep going up. You will pass a trail on the right, then go another 1/8 of a mile until you see red ribbons on a stump. Walk through a select cut (almost a clear cut) area following red ribbons to the highest point on the right. You have found the beginning of the trail. Good luck and don't kill yourself!
