Pet-e-kes is a fun and technical climb up to the more difficult Lunch Loop trails. Mostly smooth hard-packed dirt trail with several technical obstacles to challenge even the best riders. This trail is ridden as a climbing trail. Please respect local use patterns.

Pet-e-kes is especially sensitive to moisture. It is constructed largely out of expansive soil, it turns into terrible, slippery, sticky mud with even the slightest moisture. Please avoid travel on Pet-e-kes if there has been any recent moisture (snow or rain). Some warning signs of trouble to come are if you find moisture in the drainage that you cross just leaving the trailhead, then turn back.
