Description

This is the mostly singletrack section of the Raggeds Shuttle featured ride.

Despite the remote nature, the trail is well marked. There are several overgrown sections, and there can be plenty of downed trees at the start of every summer riding season (bring your hand saw and the trail gods will thank you when you do your part to remove some of them). When you get to Tomahawk Reservoir, pick up the Munsey Creek Road #795 doubletrack, which leads you to Erickson Springs Campground.

While this trail certainly has its intermediate moments, the overall route rewards expert riders with its many technical sections in this remote environment. Riders should plan and pack properly for a much longer ride than the 15 miles would initially seem to imply.

This trail is very overgrown and tons of downed trees. Cows have braided the trail so it is easy to get lost. Ride at your own risk... 15mi — 4h 00m

This is a very raw, backcountry trail. Overall I'd say that the views made this trail worth it, but the riding isn't great. 15mi
