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.

Thanks for recent trail work. I rode today south to north on a dirtbike and was surprised how rough the trail had become. Especially that for climb. Mega erosion since my last ride. Before I didn’t think it was a black trail - but can say it is now. That first section is the hardest segment. After a couple miles you end up on a west facing narrow side slope that has very sketchy exposure. and there is a long steepish rock garden somewhere in the middle that is not too bad but for some might be tough. On the north end of the trail its less rocky. Lots of trenched out trail.
