This new intermediate hand-built descent drops 282 vertical feet in 0.54 miles. Spearheaded by Gerry Creighton and Joslyn, they had plenty of volunteer help over the three-month build-out.
Creighton called the trail a "Galby Loamer," saying they did minimal work to create the trail tread, utilizing a rake-and-ride build style. It gives it a nice natural, raw feeling to the trail, where the roots and rocks will just start to get exposed on their own. The trail tread will naturally evolve as riders are riding it. Lines will kind of develop.
Hidden Valley is going to be a great addition to this north side of the hill. A lot of users on this trail are going to have a lot of fun. It's a blue trail — intermediate riders are going to have a blast. I think there's going to be some good progression on this trail. More advanced riders are just going to have a really fun time finding new fast lines. We're really excited about it.
