This is the new reroute of the historical Alden Gulch trail. This trail contains many natural and man made dirt and rock features. This trail makes the Osberg Trail into a loop or it can be accessed off of the East fork of Baker Creek rd. The former is more AM and the latter is better for Enduro style riding. Seasonal shuttle options exist from the road through local outfits. Total ride distance when accesses from the road is 16 miles approximately (26k). Segment is stored without the technical section ride arounds. Adopted by the Wood River Trails Coalition.

      One down tree a few turns below the top. Hand saw or group of 3-4 riders could clear it.
