A technical descent from the high rocky alpine of Rainbow Mountain down to the cool waters of Alta Lake. This trail gives you classic Coastal Mountain singletrack through large slabs of granitic rock and high elevation vegetation to start. It then flows through rolling meadows of sub-alpine flowers and small coniferous trees. You then hit the treeline and into the temperate rainforest where loamy corners, technical rooty sections and rock rolls await. This is a moto trials trail, and is also used by hikers, please ride in control and respect other users.
