The first loop of this, enjoying East Side DH is solid, but Kennebeck is a deeply rutted hike-a-bike and is likely going to be closed for a long time; judging by the condition it's in.

This route includes 2 closed trails - Kennebeck and Grizzly. Otherwise a fun but climby ride with the trail closures. East Side DH is fun and fast, mostly flowy and switchbacky, super pretty. Stonewall is fun and I added Rocky's and climbed back up.

I would consider a different route with these trail closures. Definitely hit Stontewall to Rocky's and find a way up to descend East Side DH. After that, find something else, repeat, or go home!

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!

Tree down about 1/4 mi up from Stonewall. Can ride over it on the cliffside. Muddy

A few soggy spots on The descent, otherwise ideal conditions.

Marshy with a lot of slow moving water on the lower part of the trail. It's been a week since it's rained. Probably needs a redesign for water management.
