This trail takes you up an old access road to an amazing lookout/viewpoint. This trail should be started at the Riley Lake access/Elmer Lake end of the trail towards Rail grade. After the view point you have a techy XC ride with one steep short descent that many people will walk. The rest of the trail is blue and is super fun. Take this trail to Rail Grade to head towards Loveland Bay campground.
