Overview

Technical high country trail route that takes riders through dense forests and tall aspen groves.

Description

Start at Pass Creek Trail to get the legs warm and the lungs breathing! Once you have topped out on Pass Creek, continue on Engineer Mountain Trail heading towards Engine Creek. Engine creek is a great trail full of tech the whole way. Loads of rocks in the upper half and switching to roots in the lower half. Great flow when effort is put into the tech sections. Very enjoyable trail and one of the more raw and tech ones in the area. Finish out the ride with Cascade Creek W and enjoy a mix of tech and mellow flowing singletrack . Stay on W side as more consistently downhill. Have to cross creek twice but worth it.
