      Nice trail. A couple of muddy spots but overall just as indicated on the map.

      This trail was and occasionally still is a ranch road. It’s nice and wide an largely non technical. Makes for a very scenic cruise along the river. There are a couple of gates to go though. There are a couple of short sections of this trail as it is mapped on trail forks that only exist in the winter. In the summer you just need to stay on the obvious road.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
