A fast, screaming downhill! This trail is used several times per year for downhill races, but is totally rideable on a regular mountain bike. Enjoy this sweet downhill!

From Bryson City, take US 74 West and turn right onto NC 28 (this is the way to Tsali). Continue past Tsali on NC 28 for about 30 minutes. At the stop sign, take a left and go about 2-3 miles on windy roads to Fontana Village. Turn left onto Welch Road and follow the road around to the Adventure Center. Park here.
While this trail is designed to be an exciting downhill, there is nothing built into it that would keep you from enjoying it at your pace, provided your bike is equipped with brakes.

There are several jumps (all rollable), some technical gnar, some steeps, a couple of wicked berms, and a small 3-4 foot drop at the bottom.
