This trail offers alpine meadow views and classic narrow singletrack descents through smooth and chunky trails. The trail starts off kinda flat and through a meadow then starts to drop sending you through aspens groves and back out into lush meadows. The trail is pretty narrow with some blind turns, so watch for hikers.
