Wet in places with lots of overgrowth. Made it difficult to bike trough sections.

Kinda interesting if you've never done it, but double-track trail is fairly straight the whole way (not like singletrack) and descent off the backside is very steep without much redeeming qualities. Even the backside isn't a "trail" in the sense that you'd think, just a steep jeep/access type road. Can shuttle this or ride a loop and back on the Seward Highway if you are really brave. Make sure your brakepads are in good condition before you try to go up and over to Indian.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
