7 miles not 10 for the loop. Best loop ever!

Mack Ridge - Lions as a 10mile loop CCW was the bomb! Super doable climbing for blue+ riders. The switchbacks on Mack downhill I am sure were much more pleasant walking down than up. If you are expert techy then try CW. We had a grand time meanwhile we met CW local riders that seem to not be having as much fun. Dark blue trail for the win!

Great fun! Excellent views and snakey flow. Defs some pride rock vibes at sunset felt easier than Mary's to me, other than like 6 impossibly tight rock squeezes that I shuffled thru. A good atrainable burn for blue riders if OK with like 30 seconds worth of shuffling imo, the whole rest of the trail felt decidedly blue
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
