Most popularly ridden as an out and back up to Searle Pass from Copper, but also fun if continuing on to Kokomo pass towards Camp Hale. Great forested rooty singletrack leads to some stellar high alpine riding with great views and rocky singletrack.

      		 Signage climbing out of the resort is very bad/non existent. Somehow also the parts of the climb in the bike park were the most difficult for me...

      		 It's fine, but the trail up top is narrow and rutted. I hope someone comes and fix that.
