	Gipsy Lake DH	Baldy/Edith	Jun 21, 2026 @ 8:38am (America/Denver) Jun 21, 2026	mtb Significant windfall at bottom of trail near Gypsy Lake and elsewhere on that side of the range after last winter. Trailhead is inaccessible via vehicle and barely by hiking, expect lots of bushwacking and lifting your bike over obstacles.	Unknown	view

	Upper Whipcracker Gulch	Townsend	Aug 25, 2024 @ 4:44pm Aug 25, 2024	mtb I was hoping to ride Indian Creek Road to Upper Whipcracker Gulch clockwise, but when I got onto Whipcracker and took the hairpin turn, the trail was blocked with what looked like an electrified fence. It may have been an electrified gate, but I didn't want to mess with it, so I went back the way I came. There were no signs stating the trail was closed.	Unknown	view
	Carl Creek	Grassy Mountain	Sep 2, 2022 @ 4:42pm Sep 2, 2022	mtb There are a few trees down across the trail, but overall it's in great shape. Really enjoyed it as a downhill ride.	Unknown	view
