This segment of the Continental Divide Trail is easily accessed at several places along its length, making for great out and back or loops rides from either the Warm Springs (185) or Kenney Wood (184) Roads. Its one of several good rides in the immediate area in the summertime.

Good views into Montana and Idaho can be had from the south end of the trail, but most of its length goes through a heavy lodgepole pine forest. This section of trail alternates between smooth/fast and chunky rock riding; nothing too rough, but a challenge for intermediate riders.
