A high alpine trail that hits the highest point along the entire CT, it has everything from scree field hike-a-bikes to tasteful alpine descending. This is typically done from spring creek pass as a shuttle ride (or bikepacking) ending at the pole creek or stony pass areas. It is a very surreal landscape that requires big lungs as you're around 13,000 feet in elevation for most of the duration.
