Description
From the Aerie trailhead, the trail makes a semicircle around Doe Mountain. Most of the trail is mellow singletrack, but there are a few short steep sections. Along the northern side of Doe Mountain is some abandoned 2-track that the Forest Service is trying to groom slowly into more enjoyable singletrack.
