Home Brew is a short black diamond trail packed with gap jumps for those seeking the double black diamond challenge. Also, there is a difficult feature consisting of 3 separate logs connected with built in wood structures. If gap jumps and log rides aren’t what you’re looking for, a ride-around route is available that directs you away from the bottom half of the trail and flows into upper Low Down.
To access Home Brew, follow the Ring Creek FSR up from the parking lot at the bottom of Half Nelson. The trailhead is shortly after the entrance to Low Down. After riding Home Brew or following the ride-around, you can access the lower half of Low Down, or turn right on the gravel road to reach Pseudo Tsuga 2 or Expecting to Fly. If you can’t get enough of gap jumps, continue across the gravel road at the bottom of Home Brew onto the recently built Throw Down.
