TTFs on TrailBerm
For a long time this trail was both a climb and descend trail. Since the Armstrong Trail (Uphill Only) was built, this trail has been commonly referred to as a DH only trail. Berms have been put in and it has it's fair share of washboard ruts before the turns now. While it is fast down, you still have the occasional hiker and rider coming up, so be watchful
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
Trail is 12 - 30” wide although the bench cut ranges from 20 - 36”. Some ruts and tight switchbacks. Mostly on camber. Crossing a ski run there are a few moments of off-camber that could be dangerous for some riders. Fun and challenging.

Fast? Bomber? But not that fun? Hmm . . . I only did Upper Spiro but thought it was fun. Nothing special I guess but good. Folks is spoiled in PC! Also, a great way to get to Seldom Seen.

Spiro has become a mostly straight shot downhillers return to the base. It used to be the only climb up to Mid Mountain, but no longer with Armstrong and Jenni's. Same is true for CMG. Both have become much rougher with use, I would never climb them now. Mostly dirt, fewer tire biter rocks than CMG. Not too exciting, for some a welcome relief to CMG. Still, some deep ruts and deep brake chatter to be aware of. I recommend taking Eagle Connector over to Lower CMG DH to avoid the really gnarly middle section of Spiro, and the overused lower hiking of Spiro. That lower Spiro will soon be dedicated hiking only with the addition of Seldom Seen MTB DH only this Fall. (Access up Armstrong)

Connects Mid Mountain to bottom of Silver Star restaurant, rest rooms. Good exit point to end ride from Silver Lake Lodge via Mid Mountain trail.
