Very difficult trail There are lots of ways to ride this trail, but 'best' seems to be from south to north. The first climb is tough, but recent trailwork has made it better. Riding toward the north, you end on a really fun singletrack rollercoaster down to Freight Landing. If you don't have the time or strength to do the whole thing, look for the bail-out options on Nethker Creek and Pete Creek trails.

There are a lot of motocross riders on this trail and as such torn it is torn up in spots. VERY pretty but TONS of hike-a-bike.

 reporter Trail is in a good shape. It's primarily a moto trail, so it's deeply rutted in spots and multiple hike-a-bikes. However, no deadfall and good to go.
