Once you've made the climb to access this trail, this makes for a great break on the legs. High alpine singletrack that wanders on the edges of the treeline and passing through gorgeous meadows.

Note that the trail continues further in both directions.

      Yep, pretty beat up. Phenomenal views and landscape, but the tread is a mess. It is still a necessary link for the Angel's Staircase loops, so still worth riding.

      If you want to see what a horse blown out trail is ride this. Troughs 1.5- 2 feet deep, rooted sections 8 feet wide - what a mess. Horse sh*t.
