yes the powerlines is the teal and the yellow is the sh@ts green is upper cobbles purple lower cobbles which pops out near waterfall

There are three distinct parts

tower

1 down pick a line watch your speed and stay out of the loose stuff carry speed over rise

2 quick and steep turns at the top dont look at where your riding look at where you are riding too pitch eases toward last turns carry speed up slight rise

3 toughest section loose bad lines and hard turns stay high and carry around banks and set up for next turn rinse repeat keep your eyes where you want to go again not where you are stay out of ruts

as you descend you can go straight across to lower cobbles or when you see a wood fence before the pond or the east side of it and you can take a right here and it is a fun trail called queens which will dump you out at upper cobbles which is the route I normally take and climb cobbles

at the top you have choices going straight under the bridge takes you to a new trail called appendix this is for me a ride up and back to the bridge

from the bridge as you face west you can go right or left

right takes you on the street and you can ride it to Rancho Toyon and take a right. past the last house there is a trail on the other side of the horse fence this will take you on the mup toward powerline.

If you go left it will take you toward side hill and dump you just east of wagon wheel

There are allot of trails out there MTB bills is ok but old and there are many trails in the tunnels that are forever closed and many other trails not listed
