Description

This is a good option for intermediates to ascend the Klondike area trails: it's a steady climb with some small ledges, but it's never too hard. There are short sections of dirt but it's mostly slickrock.

Riding downhill is a blast - all the little ledges that were a minor challenge on the uphill are easy to roll.

The trail is well marked with blue paint.

I'm an intermediate rider, but new to this terrain. I had an absolute blast coming down this!
