Trail Overview

This trail heads South across the Lake Mountain range and is the return trail for The Front 9 route. It features a single track that traverses several ridgelines with significant elevation change. The trail covers everything - steep and loose descents, flowing ravines, fast open areas, whoops, and a few rock gardens. It's a great high-speed route to get the blood flowing. WATCH FOR TARGET SHOOTING APPROXIMATELY HALFWAY THROUGH TRAIL.

Difficulty

Trail is not very difficult. Intermediate rating is mostly due to some tight trails at the top of ridges and loose rock descents.

Most the trail is pretty easy going and fun. As you get to the north end there is a steep hill climb with loose dirt. Near the top of the hill there is a pretty big rock steps to go up that is pretty tricky. more north the trail gets really narrow and is cut across a steep hillside with another few obstacles.
