Break out the rigid for some smooth flowy fun. This trail is considerably smoother than Wallman (East) and is fast with a few quick switchbacks. The lower portion of this trail was rebuilt in 2016 by the Montana Conservation Corps. They did a great job adding some flow and creating a more sustainable trail.

Access Info

When descending down Spring Gulch take the second left. Or if climbing up Spring take the right. Cross the creek, and it'll be about a 700ft climb to the top. Or climb up Wallman (East) from the corridor.

      		 Clear on the bottom half, thin layer of rideable refrozen snow on the top half. The ground was frozen when I rode. Good riding when things freeze...
