        This trail is rush, smiles the whole way.

        Generally in great shape - dry and dusty as expected. There are several large trees down which will require chainsaw removal.
        CSharp
        Very fun trail, especially going from SW Passage down to Hoodoo View segment. The segment from Upper Thunder Turkey down to Hoodoo View is longer and more flowy but with a bit more dips and punchy climbs.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
