Difficulty

Steep off camber with erosion and washouts. Slick, solid rock surface with a very steep grade right after a water crossing to get your tires wet. Trails are two-way. Stop, look, and listen for other riders coming from the other direction before attempting challenging sections. There can be a very deep water crossing at the north-east end of the trail. Beavers often flood the area.
