Wapiti offers a challenging alternative to Sourdough. More climbing, more rocks, more roots in the summer. In the winter, it's rarely tracked well enough for consistent fatbiking. Preferred riding direction is south to north, starting with a steep climbing and ending with a longer, windier descent.
