A rooty, rocky, techy climb to Merritt Lake, where the Nason Ridge trail continues along the ridge, ultimately dropping to near Lake Wenatchee. Generally ridden as a climb to access Nason Ridge. Expect to walk some to all of this trail depending on fitness and skill levels.

This is a slow going, tight spaced push-a-bike to Merrit Lake. Rode it two days ago, 7/17/17, and there were numerous down trees, bushes growing into trail, lots of flowers, and endless ankle-biter boulders to navigate. It took roughly and 1.5hr to push up. Lots of bugs, long sleeves and bug spray advised.

Beautiful but not a single track. I pretty much carried my bike for 3 miles. Coming down wasn't that much faster. I would not recommend this in wet season. Double Diamond rating is a misnomer; It's not difficult, just laborious.
