Fun downhill trail with an optional log ride and wall ride. Nothing too technical.

Access Info

Acess from downtown or the end of flow/pipeline. The trail proper starts from the top of a small rise about 150 yards from the end of flow and pipeline.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB 2 Rating: Obstacles exist. You may or may not be able to ride this solo. Support rider recommended.

There is a critical line choice at one point and one tight turn that could pose potential dilemmas, but most aMTB riders will be fine.

       Very fun trail, especially after it rains.There is nothing too technical on Shotgun. There is a lot of sand with some rock gardens embedded, a wallride which is easy to avoid if you want. It is pretty difficult to take this one slowly. There is a very convenient junction placed right where you start to pick up speed, so you can bail onto Big Ring if need be.
