Steep, the image doesn't truly reflect the grade here, typically granny gear grind. Near the top as you approach Jupiter Peak the trail narrows and is a bit loose. Not a bad trail to use to access PC from Guardsmans Pass

      This is a great way to start your descent to PC. Worth the grind to the top. Nice quiet trail that is in good shape.

      Great descent as trail traverses steep slopes and drops through some steep trees.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
