Oregon Gulch Loop, epic singletrack dh and a quality climb to test the legs!
dsmith950
We did this as an out-and-back from the south. The descents are fun, trail is well designed with berms on the north descent.
nmjunker
Solid smooth climb. Fun to connect to chocolate gulch then fox ridge. Nothing super technical, pretty fast and smooth. Took about an hour and twenty minutes. Good trail to bring your dog with.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
