Trail connecting the Flume network to the lower Poor Man's Downhill. Great way to access Flume from "downtown" Wilmington - ride up PMD and hang a left on Gulo Gulo. Fun fact - "gulo gulo" is the latin name for wolverines. The local Wilmington volunteer crew calls themselves the "Wolverines".

Access Info

Parking off rt86 at Whiteface, the Flume, or Poor Man's shuttle

reporter Still too wet and fragile for ridin. The lower trails will probably be rideable in a couple weeks; upper trails will need a bit more time.
