Trail Maah Daah Hey - Wannagan to Roosevelt
Physically demanding due to roughness of the trail and steep climbs. Better riding a little further north.

Great section of the mdh. Much south of here and it’s cow trails.

Whoooaaa!!! The trail stops at mike marker 137 where it enters the wilderness. Don’t go past bennet creek campground.

This section of mdh is not much more than cow trails. Not too scenic and poor Trail bed. Avoid if you can.

This trail lives up to the definition of EPIC. If you want to experience it at it's best I would definitely ride it during or just after the Maah Daah Hey 100 in August. The race organizers do an amazing job of ensuring the trail is at it's best.
