A brutal climb up to a high alpine meadow with an old abandoned Model T Ford in it. The downhill is a screamer!

There are a number of fallen logs you'll have to hike around.

Description

Definitely offline your maps, as this one it a bit tricky to follow at the start. Once you hit beaver mountain trail you go left and that will be pretty easy to follow as it's doubletrack but only for about a mile and then you'll take a right onto the model t park trail. Watch your gps for the spot as it can be easy to miss. The climb is kinda a nightmare at the start and you'll have to hike a bike but don't get too discouraged as coming back down is an awesome time.

I was able to still climb a good bit of the red section but it's very hard. It lets up about 75% of the way in and you can kinda cruise to the open meadow. It's very lovely up there. Bring snacks and such and take a break and check out the old rusted model T. Then suit up and haul back out. The downhill through the young aspen groves is unreal. Your wrists will be aching from hanging on tight. Have fun.
