A great add on to the usual Cinnamon Trailhead outing; or to connect to Deadhorse/Lizard Lakes Trail. Not recommended before July 14 to allow the dirt bikers to clear the trees, although sometimes the horse packers will do it earlier. From the junction of Cinnamon-Buck it's steep at first, but then fairly mellow ridge riding to a cool overlook. Continue down a couple steep switchbacks and rocky goodness to another ridge and fast meadow riding. Trail ends at a 6-way junction. Turn around here or continue up Deadhorse/Lizard Lakes. Finally, this trail can be used as part of a semi shuttled loop from Taylor Fork Road to the Cinnamon Trailhead via the Meadow Creek Cutoff or Albino Lake Trail.
