      A quick calf-burner that gets you back up to the top of Spence Basin for more downhill fun. Best used as a climbing trail as the smooth tread and lack of any features would make for a very uninteresting descent.

      Beginner tips:
      I am a brand new rider and liked this trail, up to Tunnel Vision (that’s where I cut over). There are some features I walked, but it was a nice challenge. It is a well shaded trail.

      Chill out bro, pretty sure this trail was named before the Black Lives Matter movement became a thing. BLM, for decades, stood for Bureau of Land Management. Probably not what the person who named the trail was going for either, but definitely wasn't named after the Black Lives Movement. Stop being triggered so easily.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
