Description

Beautiful views and peaceful sub alpine scenery make this singletrack trail a worthy visit if you are exploring outside of the park. Primarily singletrack, it appears to be mainly used by horseback riders and hikers, but it is a very worthy ride.

A short bit of doubletrack in places combined with some steep, sustained climbing on loose / sandy dirt add a nice element of difficulty that is balanced out by the fun downhill sections with amazing views of the surrounding mountain ranges.
