      Agree with prior comments. This trail is a bit worthless right now as it has been used for migrating cattle from point a to point b in the mud. So not only is the trail deep in the cow pie its off-camber and overgrown. That said it does connect the upper Valley and lower Valley. I think I had to cross seven or eight electrical cow fences.

      Lots of narrow, offcamber traversing. A lot more bike pushing, than the height-profile might suggest

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
