Mangolicious, trail number 151 within Kansas Rocks Recreational Park, is a steep and loose hill climb connecting C-2 and 158. The trail can be traveled in either direction and is most difficult traveling uphill, starting at C-2.

Vadar, trail number 153 within Kansas Rocks Recreational Park, is an extremely short and rocky hill that squeezes between several tight trees.
