Short but steep connection trail that ties in the famous Loon Lake trail to the Secesh River trail so that many can loop it.

If approaching from Secesh River heading west note you will have some steady and steep climbs that many have to walk / rest a few times. If riding opposite direction then be ready to drop the seat and get back on the bike for fast fun drop to the river.

Access Info

Trail is near the Chinook campground located on Secesh River that is roughly 45 minutes north of McCall Idaho

      		 Trail in excellent condition with a couple technical spots as you get closer to the Secesh River. We rode it West to East which is a great downhill.
