This trail is on the east side of Mount Hood. Spectacular views are found on the upper portion of the trail. This is a popular for intermediate to advanced mountain bikers. It also provides many ways of looping and variable distances by connecting with many other trails. *This is a very popular trail to shuttle as a downhill, please be cautious of 2 way traffic as some sections are really fast with some exposure.

      		 Great. Seems like it gets a lot of downhill only traffic, and it is fast so climb with care. Uphill went fine; took some effort. One technical...

      Fun trail but not a black. One black move (steep rock chute) other than that blue all day. I prefer trails with more features to keep it interesting (Post Canyon). If you like smooth natural trails, then this is for you. It is fast and flowy with a decent amount of pedaling (which I don’t mind).

      As a climbing trail this is relatively steep for large portions, but is doable for all but one short hike-a-bike. Mostly tree covered so the views are limited but s few nice lookouts.

      Kissing The Trail mtn bike trail guide rates this trail as "advanced" and I would agree. Has one big rock/root drop section, plenty of exposed sharp turns on rocky terrain and hairpin switchbacks. Saw plenty of users riding uphill, also. Two trees down and deep brake bumps. Very dusty in late summer.
