Fun, fast and super flowy trail.A couple of small jumps if you want to hit them.
Best done right after finishing the Recycle trail, or after Angry Midget/Half Nelson to get back to the lower parking lot.

Access Info

Trail head is at the top of Ring Creek North FSR, just before the SORCA shelter.

      there's a snag leaning across the trail on the first segment right at head level. Didn't have the tools to remove it but put up some flagging right before it. be careful!

      Almost all my f Pseudo 1,2, and 3 has had fresh work done-spring 2026. It is running great!!

      So, can I trust the last reports? Is the trail in good conditions or there is too much snow to ride?

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
