      Climbing Left hand Outer is definitely harder on the lungs than Slate Creek Up. The grade is just a bit steeper, but it’s not too bad. Downhill section before connecting with White Fir is a ton of fun! Fast, flowy, slightly rocky. It’s a hoot!

      edit..these confused people must be talking about the lower white fir trail which is good..the upper part like i said sucks unless you love to climb with no payoff
      SgtSausage1978
      what are these people talking about !! horrible trail that shouldn’t exist ..40 min climb for literally 3 mins of down through some chunk to end up at the same place as the inner loop which i should have taken ..you climb the whole gully just to climb some more ..i like my climbs to have some payoff..kept telling myself it will be worth it ,, it sure wasn’t ..sorry to be negative but honestly it should not even have been built

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
