Land OwnerUSFS
The top starts with a deep and steep moto rut. It's fast and tight below the entrance trench. Midway down, the crux is a short steep section of rock and root drops called the waterfall. The majority of the trail is good moderate riding with a handful of very difficult technical sections.
Best as a downhill but can be ridden uphill with a lot of hike-a-bike.

Idaho's Mountain Bike License PlateTrail Pass

We used to ride this around 1988 with under the chainstay roller cam brakes. Literally couldn’t stop the bike on the first section, just slow it down to walking speed. I blame this trail for my lifelong mountain bike addiction.

It can not be stressed enough how steep the beginning of this trail is. Once through the moto rut section it is a beautiful tech filled piece of single track that shouldnt be missed. Aggressive tires with great braking traction are a must.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
