Some big drops and big fun await. You really can only go down this portage. Narrow trail between some massive boulders with an amazing view of the river below. There is a particularly gnarly section that many really good riders walk, so don't hurt yourself Fortunately this section is short, and you'll be back pedaling in no time!
Access Info
WARNING: There is a MANDATORY creek crossing at the very end of this trail. There is no way to exit the trail without crossing the creek. This can be hazardous when the water is high or running fast - as it is every spring, and as it is after any significant rain.
