Amazing single track that is a mild epic ride and has amazing scenery Nothing is to technical and the trail i would say is intermediate, but what it lacks in adrenaline causing drops it makes up for in a breathtaking trail. From amazing overlooks to beautiful single track through pines, cow grass fields, and aspens. This trail makes you feel like your in the back country with just your riding buddies and the mountains. I suggest not trying to do this one as fast as you can but to take time and enjoy the scenery.

      		 So overgrown it’s pretty hard to enjoy. From the “start” at the fork all the way to the first campground road you come to it was terrible....

      		 Love this trail. It’s old school. True classic. Needs some wheels on it. Take along some pruning shears and a folding saw and cut a little bit....

      		 Still overgrown in places. Some reach out to hit your brake levers. Other sections are a mix of little water holes, but no serious mud.

      		 Has been recently groomed in some places. Still lots of overgrowth but much less than earlier this year. Wear gloves.
