A beautiful trail climbing through a dense forest of White Fir. Because of the switchbacks, most of the trail is reasonable for (moderately difficult) climbing, but several of the hairpin turns are too steep.

Access Info

There are very small parking areas in the switchbacks where the trail comes to the road

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Lower section is fun and twisty climbing through the pines with some roots and rocks. Upper part is a bit more mellow, but a great trail with awesome views.

      Very challenging climb. Lots of switch backs.

      This trail either needs to be edited on here or have some major trail work done. After you cross the road, this shows that you go up and make a loop to the northwest and then cross back over where you already rode. I did that for the first time today and it's hard to find and difficult to navigate because it's so overgrown. I suggest it gets re-routed on here to skip that loop and follow the main trail which is easy to follow and is ridden more regularly.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
