Usually combined with Medicine Point Lookout Trail for a loop. A fun downhill. Consider the trail north of the lookout to be provisional. I'm not sure anyone has ever ridden that section. It most follows the ridge line and in infrequently used by anyone.

      Seasonally designated motorized trail. Section north of the lookout is partially cut out. Portions of the trail at high points along the ridge can be difficult to follow.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
