This takes a lot of the good trails on Coronet. Best done with a friend so you can leave one vehicle a the bottom of Zoot and one at the Coronet base building to avoid the ride up the sealed road. Allow two and a half to three hours.

The riding direction on Trailforks is incorrect. This trail is in NOT to be ridden uphill!!!! EDIT: Received a message from Trailforks Admin to advise this trail is both directions however, I was riding up and the visibility is poor at best around the bends and some ridges and riders charging downhill unaware (and verbally displeased) that other riders riding in the opposite direction. For the safety of all riders, awareness should be increased by adding additional signs at top and bottom entry.
