This trail has the feeling of being an original mountain bike trail.
It makes good use of the terrain to provide some steep sections, some flow and some technical features.
There is nothing super tough on this upper section, but it flows into Godey which does have some more challenging technical sections.

Trail a bit difficult to find if you climbed up from lone pine. I assume most are coming down from berms, in which case no problem.

Correction to my last post which I can’t seem to delete. The connector from Upper Godey Traverse is extremely overgrown.

Don’t bother with this trail, doesn’t seem to really exist anymore and not worth the extra effort.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
