Trail Overview
This fun single track in the White River National Forest is mostly a fast and flowy single track through an aspen tree forest between 8 and 9k feet in elevation. If riding north to south it's mostly a steady decline all the way to the intersection with Lone Pine. The northern half is more gradual and less rocky than the Lone Pine trail. It's a steady decline with lots of curves down to the intersection with the Milepost Connector, through a mix of exposed wide open hills with no trees, and then into an aspen tree forest. There's one big downed log on a slope to get over, and there's potential for more downfall because it goes through a recent burn area. There's a very fast, fun, flowy section in the middle. The south end has a few more steep and rocky descents, but they are still relatively easy. This trail opens for the season on June 21st and closes on October 10th.
