      Heads up! This is primarily a hiking trail and if you are starting from Cascade and going up it's a slog. Recomend taking Cascade on the other side of the river and/or coming down this side.

      Couple of short hike a bike sections, but otherwise pedals well.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
