AKA Hero Dirt. Yes, your ideal conditions that you want to hit up first before any of your friends find out. Sure you want to keep it low key, but be a good trail steward and let your buddies know its time to shred.

A steep but scenic series of switchbacks leading to Shafer Butte. It’s popular with hikers, but not with bikers, because it’s so steep and switchback-y. Tempest is justifiably overshadowed by the other trails at Bogus Basin, but makes for a rewarding higher-altitude hike.
