All down trees have been removed! The upper section is a little over grown with sagebrush.

      I went up Hell's Kitchen to access downhill on Steam Mill. A very good rider in very good physical condition could uphill almost all of Hell's Kitchen, whereas no one I know could uphill Steam Mill.

      The lower section of Hell's Kitchen is a really nice blue with rocks (not smooth like Bunchgrass, which should definitely be a green). The upper section is stupid steep with tons of large downed trees. If there were an easy way to get to the top, downhilling Hell's Kitchen would be perfect for intermediate riders.

      It's a hard ride, but it's not lacking in epic.

      Brutal climb. Another comment on a trail to the south said this would be a better ascent to do Steam mill downhill. Haven’t ridden the other but I disagree. Lots of weird rocks and logs to haul your bike over, and pretty loose from the horse traffic. Makes me wish I had an e-bike.

      This is mostly a horse trail. It can be biked but prepare to walk a bike at 25% of the time

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
