Description

Pulpit Trail exudes a rough character with technical steeps, off-camber areas, and rocky terrain to go around. There's also some great views of the lake when you have a moment to glance up from the trail. If you're looking to keep thing easier, Pulpit can be skipped by staying on Ol' Grandad or W-T-T.
