Land OwnerMedicine Bow-Routt National Forest
This trail departs Lower UW Trail and descends quickly through the Happy Jack area. Be prepared for moderate tech, this trail has lots of rocks, roots, and turns. It connects to Haunted Forest Trail and Middle Aspen Trail.
Significantly re-routed in summer 2020. The old trail is still visible in spots and has been buried in logs in parts where it had become a two-wheel skid-channel on the descent and a nasty push-your-bike on the ascent.
