There is a bridge that usually goes over water early spring when the snow starts to melt and then dries up as late as July. This trail is a fast trail that has a surprise sweep at the end/beginning of the trail and ends up at a bike cattle guard

 Dry, not too overgrown. Trough to ride in made avoiding pedal strikes a challenge for this newbie. But very soft dirt when striking

      Great beginner trail. A little bit of loose rocks right by the little creek crossing as you start up the bank, but other than that’s its a trail with some curves over mostly flat terrain.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
