Land Owner
Bison Escape is an xc style black diamond Tech trail. It has a lot of rocks, some exposure, and some skinny sections. It's an enjoyable challenge, and definitely the most difficult, yet slowest trail in the system. It has lots of optional lines, including some steep rolls, and a drop or two. it connects back so you can either climb a minute more and hit Bison Chute, or drop right into Lunar Ride.

I liked it! Fun but only for the highly skilled xc gnar rider. Lots of rock steps up n down. Tight cliff hanger bench cut into steep ledges. Avoid if urs beginner or intermediate.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
