Overview
If coming from the East (preferred direction), once you leave the Pony XP trail, you'll climb a few short, spikey climbs until you reach the last section that requires hiking for a short bit to the top. Shortly after the last switchback, it is rideable for the last couple hundred yards to the top.<br><br>Up top, make sure to venture over to the edge (to your right/North) for amazing views and photo opportunities. After soaking in the views, get ready for a delicious downhill into Strawberry. Plenty of flowy sections coupled with chunky sections to keep you honest.<br><br>Be aware that hikers may be coming up the trail, so don't throw all caution to the wind, although sight lines are generally great on this trail.<br><br>Early season there can be trees down, so use caution if you're thinking of hammering down it. <br><br>Most people take the road at the bottom all the way down to Hwy 50, but there are a couple short singletrack sections to get you to either Sciots Track bridge or Strawberry.
