Description

Flume is a nice ride along St. Louis Creek. It's named after an old logging flume that runs parallel to the trail. Heading uphill, it's a fairly mellow climb. Downhill, it's moderate with some twists and turns, but you can really fly along this one with some nice flow.

In the direction mapped, it starts out with nice high alpine scenery, then narrows down to twisty singletrack through the woods, ending with a beautiful bench that serves as a nice snack spot overlooking the creek, and looking out to the mountains beyond.

This trail is great as a loop climbing back to the car up Creekside Trail.

Again, the more laps the more I appreciate this great lap through the forest. Not that many rides like this that don't require a lot of vert.

Flume is a great ride for folks of all abilities. It's real mountain biking with lots of great natural flow but never scary or intimidating.
