Description:
Rode from Basalt Pass to bottom. A few small trees down on the climb from Basalt Pass to the peak/beginning of downhill. Then numerous (didn’t count, but ~50ish) trees down, mostly above Minnow Creek jct. Most are small, one or two big ones that required acrobatics to cross. Felt like this never got cut this year. Would be a fast, fun dh if clear. Very raw up top in the burn scar, flarfy in the woods. Foliage was amazing at bottom at this time. Tiny bit of snow on summit, otherwise pretty dry.

Yeah, I doubt anyone cleared it, because it was closed most of the summer for the Pomas Fire.
Rock Creek and Rock Creek Tie got cleared by myself and someone else, but I didn't get to Basalt Ridge. Next year! Also, ride Rock Creek and Rock Creek Tie if you haven't. They're super fun but need more tires on them!
