If you rode the whole trail as marked then the middle 1/3 is very much hike a bike and on a wet day was uhmm “challenging” I agree with Windiesel on that one. Elements of the route were fun. Views were great. Be prepared for some frustration and “are you sure this is the route” moments

Don't take the unmarked trail off Roy's Revenge. It's a brutal hike a bike
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
