Land Owner
Relentlessly technical and balancy, like the rest of the Boy Scout Trails. Best ridden north to south. From the north, a series of mostly smooth, hairpin switchbacks ascend the mesa. With good line choice, you can get up to speed in a few places on the descent to the road. If you like flow trails look elsewhere.

Obviously not for everyone but really a gem of a trail. Kudos to the builders. This took quite a bit of effort and some serious thought. It's a thing of beauty. I don't get to ride technical trail like this in Oregon a lot so it was a very nice change and great mental /physical test.
Rode it on a mid power ebike which likely made it more fun. Great trail!

This trail system is for you if: A. you hate having fun B: you view mountain biking as a form of punishment and C. Your ideal views are highways and RV parks. The trailhead had parking spaces for 3 vehicles. Too optimistic in my opinion.

We rode a loop going up Upper and down Lower. I think I would have had more fun descending it. Would not recommend, and I feel like Cub Scout Lower is no more directional than Upper.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
