HooDoo Trail is the most popular trail at Tuhaye and with good reason. It features amazing views and challenging terrain to make a hike that ticks all the boxes of a classic. The upper reaches of the trail meander back and forth through the smaller hoodoo formations before plunging towards the Jordanelle Reservoir. The trail meets a connector to the Jordanelle Perimeter Trail at the fence after 1.25 miles and 525 feet of elevation drop. Be sure to save some energy and water for the return trip back to the start. The steep, tight switchbacks make this very difficult for mountain biking.

This trail needs to be ridden more as it needs to be worn in. Also a bit overgrown. But a real hidden gem. Good general condition otherwise. ...

      There is literally not a single feature on this trail. How in the world is this considered black?

      This is not a black. This is a blue at the hardest.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
