Land OwnerUSFS
This trail has got it all. It's a great technical downhill and a challenging climb. There is some hike-a-bike involved on the steepest sections.
Creeks, waterfalls, and the incredible views from the cliffs make this trip extra rewarding. Its a extremely hard climb with 3000ft of vertical to conquer. The forest service road up is easier.
