Description

This trail winds around the East side of Brokeback Hill. It's a technically demanding trail with several short, steep, rocky climbs and descents.

Note, November 2015: When riding south the trail diverts southeast over to Baby Head rather than going on to intersect Broke Back Shortcut. It appears the trail has been realigned and the track should be updated but I did not check out the southwest end.
