Sublime high alpine singletrack, starting with a very exposed and technical traverse, then leading to a super high speed descent through open fields of tundra. If you haven't yet had enough, the last half is super flowy rooty/rocky singletrack to get your ear to ear grin on.

      Beat up hiking trail, no different than every other beat up hiking trail you’ve ever ridden. But Coloradans love mediocre crap like this so
      misha7010
      Amazing trail. Sure, if you only want flow, stick to the front side of A basin (or one of the many bike parks). But for phenomenal views, awesome alpine riding, the occasional bit of flow, and yes, plenty of fun chunk/tech, this trail is nearly unbeatable.

      If you truly like/love Chunky tech and can actually ride it, it's amazing!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
