Happy Camper -> Happier Camper -> Field Trip Map

This fantastic top-to-bottom Olympia run begins on the short Diane trail before dropping into Happy Camper. Happy Camper is guaranteed to make all who ride it happy with its superb flow and entertaining features. Up top, the trail begins with an optional skinny drop followed by an easy but fun wooden roller coaster bridge. From there, the trail reverts to a classic flow trail, with tons of flowy berms. There aren't too many jumps to speak of on Happy Camper, but that will change in a hurry as you continue.

Description

Happier Camper amps up the speed and the air opportunities. The flowy back-to-back berms, including some massive high-speed corners, are absolutely blissful! All of the jumps on this trail are optional, but some of the bigger ones do take serious commitment to clear.

In that sense, Happier Camper is a dual-flavored trail. If you're not trying to get air, it's very much an intermediate flow trail. If you're trying to clear all the jumps, it trends toward advanced.

This run wraps up on Field Trip, which is one of the newer trails in the Trestle Bike Park. The flow feels like a very natural continuation of Happier Camper, but it's punctuated by a few natural sections of trail—expect a few rocks.
