Finished and sanctioned version of Teewinot. Rides fantastic in both directions, best used as a connector between Glacier parking lot and down to Armstrong tract/Skislope way. Berms are built, but please be aware of loose(r) dirt from fresh building and multi-user activity.

      The middle section remains closed, and will need lots of work before reopening. You can get around the closed section by riding the access road down past the forestry building. It’s very dusty, but rideable. Pickup the lower section of trail where it crosses the access road. The lower section is a bit ruff as well, but better than nothing.

      As of 7/11/22, the middle section is closed for what looks like tree cutting. Middle section of Teton Way trail is closed also, so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to circumvent.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
