Description

This is a turn off of the Deep Creek Trail that connects to the Jud Wiebe Trail. It can be accessed two ways:
1. Climb either direction on the Jud Wiebe Trail
2. Ride up Mill Creek RD and then doing the first leg of the Deep Creek Trail.

Option 2 is recommended. Take a right turn across the wooden bridge and pass below the Mill Creek Climbing area so you can cut loose on some great XC.

The West to East option via Mill Creek Rd seems to yield the more interesting uphill on the Deep Creek Trail, as climbing Jud Wiebe Trail is wide and loose. The ensuing XC on the waterline is very fun and rolling. When the trail meets the Jud Wiebe Trail the rider can either head downhill (right) for a ripping downhill into town, or go uphill (left) to ride up and over the Jud Wiebe Trail. Both options return the rider to town.

This trail is very fun and flowy and is one of the quickest loops that can be accessed from town without using the gondola. Watch for hikers on the Jud Wiebe as it is one of the highest traffic hiking trails in the whole valley.
