Description

From Ophir Mountain Road #951.A, you'll see a sign for this trail on the north side of the doubletrack. The trail descends through a tight pine forest for 0.7 miles when it crosses the Robert Foote Trail #9047.

From the intersection with Robert Foote Trail #9047, head north on a sandy singletrack between the pines. Follow signs for Trail 9155 north on a relatively flat, sandy trail. Roughly 0.2 miles in, there is an intersection that is marked with a small cairn. Take the left (head north).

Shortly after an intersection with 9155B, there is a really nice, twisting descent through some dense forest. Keep an eye out for a 12-18" log drop, and the trail opens to a clear-cut area.

The trail then continues down with some great views of Lake Dillon to the intersection with East Meets West (FS Trail #9042) .

Be very careful in the clear-cut area. There are numerous stumps on the side of the trail that will catch your foot if you're not careful.

I walked and rode this from the intersection of faith tail 951b . There were some gullied out spots and pine debris, but the fallen trees had been cut away. May 31, 2018
