      Up to the high point definitely worth adding on, the climb is pretty mellow and going back down is nice and fast and flowy fun. The other side… it was also fun to go down but much less fun to go back up so idk if I’d do it again!

      Pretty flowy trail except for the climbs which are a couple miles but not technically or physically too difficult. If you get to the top of Rocks & Roots, I’d definitely ride Kinglet to its high point at about 2.5 miles. Amazing views of Eldo and a couple benches to take it all in. Then it’s a fun and worthwhile downhill back to the top of School Bus.

      This is not a 3 star trail! Fun, well built blue trail. Will be amazing when it connects to Jenny Creek.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
