Need to Know

Lots of small creek crossings.

Description

The trail starts out on doubletrack for the last gnarly bit of road off South Thompson Creek Road #305. Then you reach the singletrack. Climb through old aspen groves, dropping in and out of numerous small creek drainages. After 2.7 miles of climbing and nearly 1,000 feet of vert, you'll reach the saddle looking down onto Braderich Creek Trail #1952, and Coal Basin Road.

Combine this with Braderich Creek Trail #1952 for the ride known as "Tall Pines".
