Named 'Mortgage' because the word directly translates from Latin as "Deathgrip". The trail builders were looking to add some less steep and brakeless riding to the area. It follows a south facing ridgeline therefore will be clear of snow earlier than other trails in the Baseline network.
There's no way to shuttle this one so it should provide many seasons of loamy goodness
Expect a 2 hour excursion to ride both Mortgages from the top.

Access Info

Via Fall Creek Rd, Foreclosure and Mad Grouse.
