A longer ride from parking lot to parking lot. Plenty of climbing through varied terrain. Some great views and some interesting rock formations. Portions of this trail can get substantially overgrown by late summer.

      Dry and clear, great riding shape. Large moose carcass right next to trail in between creek crossings on the Gibson side.

      Still significant snow drifts over the trail. Specifically in the trees and on the North face of the mountains.
