Trail is subject to a USFS seasonal wildlife closure from 4/15 - 6/20 to protect deer and elk during calving season

Description

Great aspens. A bit rutted and steep, but beautiful. It's best done downhill as part of a loop.

The upper part of this is a little disappointing since it is on a road. The single track part is awesome, not black diamond rated in my eyes.... 3mi
