      One of my least favorite trials that I’ve ever done. The second half of the ride was fun but the other half was garbage. trekked the bikes through snow for almost 2miles over scree in June. Definitely not a green route.

      I rode this in summer of 2021. The east side was really fun and scenic ride to the old cabin on the north side of the lake, and I walked a little bit into the wilderness to check out a few of the lakes. The ride back around the west side of the lake was very difficult and technical. I will probably do this again but will likely do an out and back on the east side of the lake.

      I would not classify this very rocky trail as green. It’s much more difficult. Not a maintained trail so some parts aren’t marked well. It’s very cold and windy there even in summer. Need warm clothing. The road up to the lake has horrible potholes. Beware!
