Land OwnerSilver Falls State Park
This upper portion of Catamount is mostly smooth and flowy, with only a few rocky patches. Several camel humps that are easy and fun to roll or catch small air if that is your thing.

Fun little xc/flow trail. Rain into one group of trail runners as an FYI (multi use trail)

The direction noted is wrong. This portion of catamount is downhill only.

Some limbs and branches occasional snow patch. Large tree across trail, top 1/3rd.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
