 Beautiful hike. A few snow cover spots on the trail but not much at all. I’d say 98% dry. Thinking of mountain biking it next time.

      Fun trail! Great scenery. The trail oscillates between rock gardens and smooth flow. Both were great fun. Not a lot of elevation change but still a good workout.

      The north side is smooth and wide, south side is much rockier. Good loop either way, but going downhill (W to E) on the south side would be more entertaining.

      A solid blue mtn biking trail, mostly covered with small rocks. Technically challenging enough to make it worthy of even a good bikers attention. Some good gradual climbs in the first half, the back half is pure mtn biking joy, single track fast runs thru thick trees along a beautiful creek.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
