The top section is a sandy double track road. On the east side the trail drops down a wash and has been traditionally used for 4x4 rock crawling.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Black Rating: Advanced obstacles exist, some trail obstructions.
This really should be split into two trails. The east-west section in Salt Valley is aMTB1 and is a smooth doubletrack. The section climbing over the Col and descending into Salt Valley is aMTB3. It is ridable from the top of Klondike Bluffs down into Salt Valley, but it is chunky with ledgy drops and requires good line picking skills. Your support will have to scout lines, spot, and probably do some rock stacking. That said, we managed to ride without flipping. I would question if the route can be ridden uphill, but it is up to someone else to decide if it is possible.

Very lose chunk difficult section. hike a bike for most. Never ride this trail
clarsch
Not a single track. Not a green trail. Part is on a dirt road and the road is, as previously stated, boring and flat. Southern climb is loose and beefy. Pass unless you're camping back there and want trail access.

The road portion at the valley bottom is boring and flat. The climb back up to Klondike Bluff's Road (the southern portion of this segment) is a black diamond, loose rocky climb on a crappy Jeep road. This is my least favorite trail in Klondike.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
