Great up and down. Amazing views at top, great connection to the crest. Also provides cool transitions between aspens, alpine meadows and pine trees. The waterbars at the top give you a bunch of little jumps through some tight pine trees, making this top section a favorite descent.

This is a very popular climbing trail to get to the Crest from PC, so watch for riders coming up if you are descending. If looking for an alternate climbing route to the crest, see the Blazing Saddle connector via Comstock or Keystone.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Trail is generally 26 - 40 inches wide, with a well cut bench. The upper section is definitely wider than the lower half. The bench fades in and out occasionally in the lower portion, so intermediate riders, and those on wider bikes will need to take caution as appropriate. Lower section also often has a lot of overgrowth.
No technical features . Fun jumpable rollers. Great twisties.
There are a lot of places of moderate to considerable exposure where you probably would not want to roll off of the trail.

      Snow gone as of July 1. Needs its annual haircut, so be careful on blind turns.

      Two sections you need to walk through about 100 feet of snow at the last switchback coming up to the top of pine cone. Otherwise great ride the whole way. Totally doable
