**This trail is featured on the Video Page**

What a great ride! :headbang: I've heard so much about this trail for years, and finally had the chance to hit it after work last night (Tuesday).

Chivato, KillEmAll, MY T PIMP, and myself headed up. We got to the trailhead a little after 6:30. This was the first time for all of us.

The directions were pretty easy. Get off the 2600 S exit in Bountiful. Follow it East, then it turns North on you into Orchard. Turn East again on 1800 S. Follow that all the way up.

We parked right outside the fee area. I was worried about gates closing after dark, but there were none to worry about.

:bootyshake: :bootyshake: One more thing-It's safe to say that all 4 of us were the fattest people on the trail. :bootyshake: :bootyshake:

Here's the pics. :popcorn:

More climbing than I've done in a long time, but very worth it. It made for some very wild downhill.

Well, not all of 'em, if you know what I mean.

As we were leaving after the ride, a couple of guys pulled up and were going to ride it totally in the dark! They had halogen head lamps on, and said that's the only way to ride it. There's nobody ever on it, but if there is, they can see the lights coming.

They say you can fly at night, and it's so much cooler in temp.

I told them about the site, hopefully they tell us how it went.

Deep inside, MY T PIMP is a gentle fellow.

My motto is safety first, not looking gay second... I really have my priorities screwed up don't I? I think I'll take 'em off tonight. I guess I should probably take off the horn as well. :oops:

I actually want one of those clown horns. It's a good warning for downhill. I'll have to get used to riding with one hand though, so I can honk it with the other.

A couple close calls while going up. We actually had it pretty nice. We were slow going up the trail, so everybody passed us. This meant the coast was pretty much clear going down.

Don bit it a couple of times. He almost condemned the whole biking genre at the time. I think he's over it and ready for the next one though.
