Make no mistake. This is a moto trail. Towards the bottom there are undulations or humps. The entire trail is a challenging technical ascent: rocky, loose, and in some spots powdery. With the exception of the trailhead at parking, there is extremely poor signage (as in NONE) for which way to go to stay on Lower Animal Crackers. There are multiple intersecting moto trails (not mentioned on Trailforks), prompting me to pull out Trailforks constantly to check gps.

straight ahead of where the pavement ends from the highway turn off, then slightly towards the right

Long, steep climb. Rocky and still small patches of snow here and there, but mostly on upper animal crackers. This is a motocross trail, so ride at your own risk. There are areas you may have to get off and hike your bike due to steep and slick terrain.

Solid blue trail that will make you work uphill on some loose rocks and sandy switch backs. Lots of fun coming back down.
We rented bikes online at Tripoutside.com and demo’d a Ibis Ripmo. ????????????
