A short singletrack climb then turns into a super fun mixed trail full of fast descents, meadows, viewpoints, rock gardens, climbs, and ridge descents. A great way to start a ride on Montana Mountain is to climb up and do this trail first.

      It took me about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the trailhead from the base parking lot, at a slow steady pace. Once there, I hesitated between Telegraph and Nares View because I honestly did not feel like climbing anymore and the mosquitoes were having a picnic!

      I felt like doing Nares would be a more unique experience so up I went... I am glad I did because the initial climb was easy, the variety of terrain was nice, the view was spectacular and the descent really fun. At the bottom, I turned left on Cariboo, did Goat (my favorite!), then opted to take it easy with Porcupine, Black bear and AK DNR. Epic ride!

      Great trail. Nothing too techy but it’s a rooty Rocky workout. I love it.

      Truly one of the most spectacular trails I've ever ridden. And the descent is a blast too!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
