Description

Spike climbs steeply from Eagle Valley up to the top of the ridge. The lower section is very steep and loose hike-a-bike, but towards the top it is a good quality trail. This is probably better used as a ripping descent after climbing Eagle Valley Road. There is a new singletrack section for the lower 1/3.
