Mostly flowy and fun with a few difficult rock/root features that demand attention. With the doubletrack, makes a nice extension of the loop from Belcher trailhead.

No problem at all to ride. Packed snow in shady areas but good traction from parking lot to wranglers run junction.

      This trail has some old school gnarly sections. Tough to ride clean in either direction. Worthwhile additional loop to connect into Longhorn, even if western part of rawhide is super easy.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
