The forest was less damaged by recent logging so Kushier goes in and out of forest, looping down and then back up to Ridgemont Road so that you can continue across and onto Kushiest.

Trail is snow covered, but ground is no longer as firm as in winter. Use caution as snow melts as riding when soft can cause trail damage.
