The trail features some of the only slick rock riding in Tahoe to create a technical, physical ride with some of the best views around the lake. Crews removed approximately nine tons of rock from the trail, and moved roughly three tons of rock to make tread. The USFS cut the top quarter mile of trail through a scree field, and TAMBA crews and volunteers, led by crew leader Scott Brown, were responsible for the intricate, technical rock work that was required.

It also reduces traffic on narrow roads and offers new access to hikers, experienced mountain bikers, and equestrians who want a car-free way to enjoy Fallen Leaf Lake, Glen Alpine Springs and Desolation Wilderness.
