The first trail in the Bitterroot built with intermediate mountain bikers in mind. The trail has been smoothed with far fewer rocks that most any trail in the valley. Grades are fun both ways and some of the turns have modest berms.

      I want to say “thank you” to the folks that designed and built this trail network. It’s quite a gem with great routes and construction. It’s a legacy you should be proud of and it will be enjoyed by many for years to come. Well done, thank you.

      Wonderful trail that climbs really well but looked fun going down too. The way it snakes its way up the ridge keeps the grade down and makes it interesting. The downhill direction has some B line rock rolls and moderate drops that look fun. I’ll have to plan my route to include descending it next time.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
