Land OwnerDeer Valley Resort
This trail is an excellent link up to hit Black Forest. If you are not going to drop down Black Forest, it is recommended to be an out-n-back, OR you can continue to Blazing Saddle to access Keystone, or climb Puke Hill to Crest or Pinecone.. The trails in the area are not directional, but most riders climb up Fat Lip and down Black Forest.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB DBL Black Rating: Expert trail features not suitable for some adaptive equipment
Narrow, off camber sections may not be passable in a 36” wide bike. Rocky technical sections and tight switchbacks are all passable with perfect riding but may require a spot.
