      Really fun loop! We went clockwise which was a great blend of winding climbs through aspens, loose pack, with tight turns with no burms. Really fun rocky descent with a few jump features. The highlight was seeing 20 head of elk!

      Great little loop, and the aspens are peaking! Rode the loop clockwise, but might be a better workout/climb going counter-clockwise.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
