Land OwnerUSFS
Amazing views and amazing finish. Starts off with a steep climb, followed by a few steep ups and fun downs. At about 1.7 miles in the sustained downhill finish starts in a big open meadow before tightening up into the creek drainage. Once in the drainage, the trail becomes super rocky, technical, and fun

Beautiful views at top. I rode up the bad rd to get here. I think maybe better to just ride up this trail to get to its top. Lower has 45% downhill n blown out by motos trying to get up the ricky trail. I di t see how the lower part can last w this abuse. Top is full of debris n loose rocks the motos unleash in the trail; they cant ride straight. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Its almost worth the views but the rule that if its open to moto its better to skip it applies.
It was a long slow grunt up the nasty dirt rd to get to top

Attempted a revolution race pre ride. 5-27-23 and the snow made the ride impossible! We bushwhacked through about 2 miles of shade spots with feet of snow then came up to a straight away full of about 3-4 feet of snow covering everything. I would think this trail needs another month to melt

4 downhills and 3 climbs, the last pitch is steep and serious
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
