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.

Great trail with epic views! i prefer running this from Gibson side and taking the connector to west fork.

Rode this section as part of a loop coming from the Gibson side. Didn’t have any issues with pedal striking, however if you rode from the mink creek side, I could see how you could have significant pedal striking probelmos.
Claquesous
Tried riding, but way too deep and narrow for biking, I’m my opinion. Constant pedal strikes
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
