Yoo Hoo
Yoo Hoo DH is a downhill trail in the Luke's area north of Price. It's only 1.5 miles long, but is a continuation of Shamrock & Roll. As of 2011, it's still being worked on, but is ready to ride. The first half-mile is awesome; the rest is underwhelming but has great potential. Yoo Hoo drops about 400 vertical over the run of the trail. The ride I describe here is a loop 12 miles long and is intermediate technical overall. Total climbing is about 1400 feet. The Shamrock & Roll and Yoo Hoo sections can be done by intermediates, but really need advanced tech skills to be enjoyed properly. |
