Fun and rolling trail with very light gradient and some interesting (small) rock features. Great views at the top, awesome trail for people of all abilities.

      		 Riding super nice to within maybe a half mile of the top. Patchy snow makes it mostly hike a bike at that point. It'll be clear soon though

      		 Can only make it about 1 mile up from dirt lot adjacent to top of Sky tavern trails. Heave snow cover and flooded trail past that point.
