    First corner requires commitment over some steep rocks and roots. If you can ride that then you can ride the rest. 1 of the 2 challenging technical descents on the loop.

      Medusa's Drop is a rather famous (or infamous?) part of the Red Route with a very steep drop down through the forest here: zigzags, switchbacks, berms and more. The lower part of the descent is quite challenging, so this is really for experts!

        This was the gnarliest section on the red route, all rideable on a hardtail, be excited and apprehensive! Sorry no photo.
