Land OwnerSolitude Mountain Resort
Steep with lots of loose washed channels. Some people have used cairns to mark an alternate route at the top to skip the very steep spots, so this trail is broken up. A lot of hike-a-bike up, or a fun technical descent (with a smaller amount of uphill to reach the ridge from Grizzly). Seems like the way to ride this to go up Solitude, around through Grizzly, then loop back down Silver Fork to base of Solitude again. Very scenic, and lots of solitude.
Near the top are some old mines and rusted mining equipment.
The runoff from 2022-2023 winter have washed the top out section out, creating a significantly more rocky channel down much of the trail.
