    *Star rating is based on this as a long, mostly vehicle free ride in the Wilderness - Not the quality of the non existent Singletrack.
    Is this all Singletrack? - No.

    Is their any Singletrack? - No.

    Would this be a great Introductory Long Ride for you to take new riders on? - You bet your rear wheel it would!

    You are riding on a hard packed bush road, with only occasional Parks vehicles during week days
    Since the flood of '13 this has been used by Parks vehicles to Rebuild the remote campgrounds on both Big and Little Elbow - So you may encounter Parks vehicles during the week. The upside is that this has become a much easier trail to take someone out for a 40 km trip surrounded by Mountains and bordered by river.
    Currently there is still one bridge out on the loop, be prepared for wet feet. (Not really Recommended before the end of the Spring/Summer melt)
