    Mountain biking

    Jacobs Cairn-Big pile of rocks, better known as a Cairn and this one is Jacobs. Great spot to stop and admire the views and grab a photo or two. Jacobs ladder descent would be best described as a long and challenging descent, requiring high technical ability (or alternatively you can push down sections). Very rocky, all the rock, loose, embedded, and bedrock. EVER so fun.
