Ride in RainYes
This is a great trail through the high pines and brush. Typically ridden counter-clockwise, there is a steady climb to an old ski hill where you can either take the forestry road up to other trails and roads or loop back down to the campground on a fast and windy singletrack.

Yep counter clockwise. The trail is marked as intermediate by the local signs. Great trail. A couple of rocky sections 2/3rds up on the climb.
TwoWheeledSloth
Definitely glad I listened to the people saying to ride counter clockwise. The downhill was awesome and the climb was not too bad even though we did it in the middle of the day in June.

We rode this loop counter clockwise. Steep switchbacks up then fun downhill after that!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
