      This is not a dirt mountain biking trail. This is a winter snow packed trail. There is no trail to ride / walk in the summer, as it is covered in 3 to 5 foot tall vegetation, which is ever so slightly less dense than the neighboring native vegetation.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
