Absolutely love this trail. Good berms, risers, fun blast through the grass and aspens. Best to start from Mid Mountain on the return home through Ontario Canyon.

Quite a bit of deadfall in the lines between miscounting and Dalys including one mini slide that is about a 40 foot portage. Several easier downed trees to cross on the climb back up from Dalys to Ontario as well. Other than that trail is in good shape.

Very awesome trail. Some climbing some downhill. All fun.
