Be careful at the top of Luge, the first two switchbacks are super washed out from the rains and are covered in loose rocks. Also a couple places...

      Trail has not been maintained for quite some time rendering this a mostly downhill(Starting on Southeast end) trail. The flat and slow climb areas are still rideable but the washes and spots with a sharp incline are all hike-a-bike sections. Those spots have 2-4" of loose dirt, Gravel and chunk rock on the inclines and 3-6" of loose silt and Gravel at the bottom of the washes. So you'll have no traction going up and the bottom of the wash will eat all our speed. If you want a climb then stick to Saddle Up and Upper Pass--which are also in disarray but not to this degree.

      this trail is way more fun DH and seems intended to be a downhill. if you want to climb from this side of the mountains use Saddle Up/Upper Pass. the big drop towards the bottom is awesome, you can either roll it by staying far left or pick your own drop distance by changing how far right you feel brave enough to go Smile

      Fast downhill but be careful there are some spots that seem more loose than usual in the low areas from rain. Trail could use signage or better markings on the north end.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
