Description

Buffalo Soldier Trail is a lollipop loop that can be ridden in either direction. The trail is mostly fast and smooth, with one small section of rocks just as you come to the top of the ridge.

This is a good addition to other MTB trails out of Grand Targhee Resort. It offers up some of the best views of the Tetons.
