Land OwnerUinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
This lower section is mostly washed out and steep from dirt bikes riding in mud. Not great, but the switch backs in the upper section are great.
For winter riding the lower section where it intersects with Mud Springs is often packed down from snowshoes.

To answer your question about the jumps, I've done this trail 4 or 5 times and have never seen any of the jumps in the pictures.
Heaps
Are the photos wrong for this trail or is there actually jumps up there? Curious because you can see the road in one of the photos and theres not a road any where near this trail.

Really fun climb on a dirtbike, technical but not overwhelming. There’s a decent climb around a quarter mile in but it’s fairly smooth. Try not to spin out on this part—it’s been rutted out from that.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
