Badger Pass just before you hit White Rhino.

Golden grass, blue skies, sunshine, snow-covered mountains, and tacky trails equal a very happy rider!!

Easy but steady climb, and the view is fantastic. If you are into technical trails, avoid it but if you want to see some scenery, go for it! — 0h 45m

The climb up from 160 can be brutal if not in shape. Rewarded with 3-Mile Smile back down! Whoosh! 6.4mi — 1h 43m
