Description

Upper Roof of the Rockies starts nearby the Olympia bike lift, facing southeast next to the "Mary Jane Ski Area" sign. A narrow singletrack trail, it soon starts climbing up a ski slope, but after a few hundred yards enters into the forest. The rest of the trail is heavily forested, and leads down towards Lower Roof of the Rockies. Both are "two-way cross country trails." You may encounter hikers and riders coming in the opposite direction.
