Be aware the elevation profile on the mobile app will show you getting to the high point well before you actually do. Once you're at the top of the graph, you've got another mile or two of climbing, with a few false high points before the real one.

Such an awesome ride! Great signage, easy to follow trail, amazing views right from the start and some very raw, tight singletrack coming down West Jefferson. I would definitely do this ride again.

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
