Trail #40 Variation: This section can be added to the Capitol Peak #1, 2#

Description:
This will involve some climbing, not a lot but it may hurt briefly. The descent
down Trail #40 is technical (read: rutted, rocky, banked and fast). If you have
some energy left it is worth it.  
Red line is vehicle route and
yellow  line is bike route.
