REVIEW
Empress exits on Empress Bypass and could get hairy with all the speed that can be attained on Empress Bypass. Someone's gonna get a t-boning.
This was one of the toughest trails to ride on Seymour. The only thing tougher is the gnarly rock face on Dale's.
Whenever I see a trail like this, one of the first things that comes to my mind is: someone looked at that and said to themselves, I could ride that.

REVIEW
This trail is steep and technical. There are lots of drops and logs to cross but the main feature is the log you ride down. The log is dug out like a canoe and the trail builder has put chicken wire in it for traction. What makes this log tough to ride is the fact it is steep and the drop at the end with a sharp right hand turn. All in all I hiked most of this trail. This is no Sunday ride in the park but if you are a trials rider you'll enjoy this trail. To find this trail all you have to do is look down the side of the big boulder that is half buried in the Bail Out.
