Description

Enter trail at the "Chicken Foot" (intersection of Schweitzer Mtn Rd, Parallel and Telemark Rds., or from just above the roundabout.

This trail features great undulating singletrack with a few skinny bridges and super fun twisty sections.

Fun in either direction, Upper Basin makes a great climb to the F.L.O. Trail, but it's best taken downhill. :)
