Super fast, super fun section of trail. Very smooth, and one of the best ways to get up to Mapleton Ridge trail. The lower end through the meadow was recently realigned to a more sustainable route, so please follow the trail that goes straight up through the meadow.

      I found a watch on this trail. If it's yours, tell me what it looks like and I'll get it to you.

      Water is coming down the middle of the trail for the first half mile to a mile. Very bad for rutting the trail out. There is also a spring that creates a small mud pit right at the beginning that could REALLY use a bridge. It'll just get worse the more it's crossed.

      A very reasonable climbing trail. You're up 1,000ft before you know it.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
