Trail Hayes Creek
Very muddy. Top is snow/ice then the long south facing run is slick gooey mud. The entire mountain is muddy.

Trail Hayes Creek
Tore up and dry, top to bottom. Moon dust and vacuum rocks waiting to suck the life out of your tires. Despite that, fast, flowy, and fun. Up top, be ready for some sweet little drops.

Fun area, shorter runs, but easy access and easy trails with lots of options.
