TTFs on TrailRock Face
At the top of Pleasants Peak is a very difficult drop from the summit back to the Main Divide. The hardest part of this trail is near the top. The gentle roll off the summit transitions into a steep rock face with loose rock. The trail here is quite wide so there is a little freedom to find the best line for you. Is it diagonaling across the slope to find solid dirt or is it riding in the loose chute? After the drop, the trail is a single track along the ridge. Battle rocks and ruts as you swashbuckle back down to Main Divide.
This trail can be done in reverse as a hike up to gain the summit of Pleasants Peak.
Access Info
The trail is accessed from Main Divide. Get to the top of Pleasants Peak and descend the north face of the summit.
