Geiger Grind is a short connector trail on the north side of the system, linking YellowCakeWalk and RADium. It also serves as an entry point for riders approaching from the north side of the system. This is the only two-way trail in the Mud Springs system so please stay alert and watch for oncoming riders.

MUD WARNING The system is high in clay soils and does not hold up well when wet. Please do not ride during or after rain or snow events. Doing so will leave ruts and damage the trails.

Access Info

Use caution turning off of HWY 191 onto Yellow Circle Road as the turning place is in a passing lane.

      The lower section is more of a double-track road than a single-track trail. Barbed wire fence at bottom.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
