Description

The Skunk Creek trail is a fairly constant moderate climb with a lung buster at the end. This trail is usually done as part of a loop of Skeleton Creek and is usually accessed from Little Skeleton Creek. There is a lot of open ridge riding on this route with some great scenery.

The end of the ride is where you may find yourself hike-a-biking, but it will all be worth it once you get to the top. The trees are usually cut out by mid-July.
