Description
Buffalo Soldier Trail is a lollipop loop that can be used in either direction. The trail is mostly smooth, with one small section of rocks just as you come to the top of the ridge. This is a good addition to other MTB trails out of Grand Targhee Resort. It offers up some of the best views of the Tetons.
