This trail takes it up a tiny notch from the easier trails. A few small rock sections and some cool rock ridge riding with expansive views of the valley make this more fun. From the ridges you can see the easy trails below and you eventually connect in with the more difficult SWR trails.

      This trail is one of the best in bears. A lot of the trails are just filler, like the circus. Or just worth doing once or twice. This is worth doing a lot, it isn’t that hard, and it is very fun. I will say it’s hard to get to however it’s absolutely worth getting to. If it weren’t for all the tech, it could be green. Absolutely recommend doing this.

      I love this trail. It’s kinda like climbing benchmark but longer and more fun. And it’s not like goat or atomic, it’s in a way like flagpole which is fun. It’s not brutal like brokeback (backwards). I will say that it is hard to get to the very start

      This trail is in pretty awful shape after the rains. Gonna take a lot of love to get this area back up to par.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
