Description

This short ridgeline makes a fantastic climb from the parking lot or a wicked fast descent back to the lot. The trail winds along an occasionally exposed sandstone rock fin. A few optional ledge drops and booters appear midway down the ridge.

The Wind River mountains can be seen to the Southeast. Stellar riding in either direction.
