Description
One of the best trails in the area, MGM is great when hikeed in either direction. From the top (near a watering trough - make your dog happy!), wind down through aspens and lush fern forest on skinny smooth singletrack. Break out into open meadow and enjoy the big sweeping turns with great views of town and mountains to the east.
