Jun 11, 2022 Middle Canyon Trail Trail Report

This could be a gem of a trail for mtn bikes with some maintenance. In its current status I wouldn’t go so far to call it it mountain bike trail even. There are a few places with downed trees that require a bike carry. There are a couple of river crosses that also require a bike carry. From the junction with White Pines you simply cannot ride up to Butterfield Peaks - it’s basically like riding a dry creek bed. Given that there is another hikers only trail to Butterfield Peaks I would suggest this route be adapted more for bikes as a way to summit the peaks to avoid biker hiker conflict. Beautiful place though.
