Trail Overview

This is a very fun and challenging trail with some killer, tight, and steep switchbacks. If you're not comfortable with pivot turns, the switchbacks will be extra difficult. It goes over a couple of mountain ranges with some great views, but gets overgrown in some areas. There's a lot of off-camber and rock sections with some fun washes involved.

First ride on this trail, been wanting to get on it and finally did. With the rain recently this trail is quite overgrown and hard to follow in places. Also a few washed out areas that made it more challenging than I’m guessing it was historically. Water has eroded a section above the burned out cabin to where we needed to stack some rocks to get out of the wash and side hill it. Was an awesome ride regardless and am excited to get out there again.
