Description
Sweet Mother can be taken in both directions. Assuming you accessed the top of Sweet Mother by climbing Crimson Ride, take a left and head west on a doubletrack. Soon, the doubletrack turns into a singletrack and begins working its way downhill with a series of twists and turns.
The trail is generally smooth, but there are a few rocky sections where you'll want to watch your footing. There are also a few short climbs towards the end of the trail that will keep your heart rate elevated.
When you arrive back at the intersection with Half Time, take a right to access Zeni's Trail or take a left to access Ole' Roller. You can also take a left and climb Crimson Ride again to hike Jasper and create a longer experience.
