Uphill -- not good. Several long sections that are too steep and loose to pedal. I hiked probably 40%. The steeper the section, the looser it got. The views made it fun, but I'd never do it again. Better to shuttle the pavement up, and pedal the double track.

Downhill -- a high speed romp through the alpine meadows up top and the bottom half is like the Forest Moon of Endor. Definitely NOT a black diamond, but the loose conditions give it a dark blue, for sure. Leave your XC tires at home. This is Minion country.

Just a few small puddles maybe? I was going so fast none of that registered. Go ride it today. It's hero dirt on the whole loop.

      Huge snow drifts right at the start make this impassible for now. I was trying to ride the loop so I had to backtrack down East Fork Mink Creek which wasn't terrible until close to the top.

      great trail running trail! the views are epic along the base of Scout.

      Not sure why this is marked as no mountain bikes on Trailforks, there is a sign at bottom saying open to hikers, bikes, and dirtbikes

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
