 Some mud pits to walk around, still some runoff on the trail but definitely rideable.

 Hero dirt in some spots, mud in others. Definitely rideable though!

      Very steep and rocky. Severely rutted. I had a bone-shaking descent on my hardtail.

      Rode up this trail and found it steep and not really interesting, but the scenery made up for it. If you can ride it down you’ll be happier with it.

      Was not expecting it to be much fun but it was! Good chunk in some spots and nice dirt. Don’t sleep on this one if you are in Bear Lake.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
