Description

Park at Dragon's Tooth lot. The trailhead is almost directly across 311. Start climbing immediately and after a sustained climb you'll reach the ridge. Rolling terrain with multiple rock gardens and technical riding. You'll have options to drop off of Deer, Grouse, or Turkey as you continue on. Do as an out and back or a loop with the side trails.
