Narrow single track with lots of side cut. One of the less used trails. Can be tricky in winter but generally gets boot packed from all the walkers.

      Believe it or not there are moose in the area as of last Monday, two of them. I didnt stick around long enough to see if they were young or fully grown - but they were large enough to seriously hurt a person. So keep an eye out. Doubt theyd venture down into the areas with higher foot/bike traffic, but up higher in the trees they can be spotted.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
