Immediately the trail drops into medium rollers and doubles, winding it's way back down the mountain with steep downhills, and a brief rolling climb. This trail can be sandy during dry summer months and is best after rain, in the spring or fall. Third Divide makes up part of the classic Downieville downhill route. The trail has good flow with some spicy sections. Ridgeline is a crown jewel of Dupont State Recreational Forest.
