No-pro
The climb from the parking lot to the glenrose trail is enough to remind you that your 20's were a long time ago. The views and decent are all worth it. The trail itself is flat singletrack with no obstacles. Great ride. Highly recommended.

A nice climbing alternative to the Glenrose Cliffs trail heading west. Beautiful views and new trail surface.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
