Winding up out of the valley with sweeping corner that reveal the lake below. Excellent picnic location, day hike, or bike ride. Hanging around for the golden hour is highly recommended

Compared to Highline, a shorter trail but has fewer off-camber corners so easier to get some fast flow going. Easy climb back up to top on the ranch road, so I did it several times and got a feel for it. Definitely a little bumpy in stretches and not sure why - feel like braking bumps but are not in a braking zone. Would love to see some berms get built up to help with flow and minimize the need to swing the rear around to maintain pace.

Running smooth. No cattle issues. Beautiful. Surrounded by flowers on the way down. Watch the speed in the corners.

Bench is very bumpy over steep at times out cambered corners but it is single track.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
