Description

Buzzsaw East begins at the North end of Buzzsaw, runs North along the ridge. On the North end, Wonderland provides a fast, fun descent to the lake shore and Perimeter Trail.

The end of the trail offers multiple options. Tip Top leads to Crown Point Road and the west ridge. Excelsior and Eureka Patch both take twisty routes to the South, an upgrade to the old Buzzsaw Loop. Recent deforestation of the Peninsula for pine beetle mitigation has resulted in stunning 360 degree views from this trail that extend from the continental divide around to the Ten Mile, Gore and William's Fork Ranges.

The trail, like many on the Peninsula is as much double as singletrack in nature. From Buzzsaw, ride counterclockwise through a drainage along a logging road. A singletrack takes off on the left side of the road after 1/4 mile. Continue on along the rolling singletrack to a steep, stinger climb.
