Fun ride with some hiking, a true Singletrack. Fun steps and challenging rocks, and multiple trees down creating some fun obstacles. Great climbs and downhills. Nice lake views and wild flowers are everywhere right now. Lake is full and Creek is running pretty good.
| Thankyou got 3 to choose from or you can make them in to a long session. outlook, gulch, and fishing circle. both a intermediate some parts on the gulch you must get off unless you can bunny hope up a 3 ft rock that is 2 foot wide. other then that the trails is 2 miles of climbing mostly and 3 sets of tight switch backs. I rode this on my SS and didn't have much problems other then my on lack of skill. but for a good scenic ride its a must.
