Need to Know

This trail is shared with equestrians and hikers so please be respectful and follow the rules of the trail.

Description

This trail is best ridden down after climbing FS Road 5081. The trails in this area do not see much use from bikes so be prepared for typical backcountry trail with obstacles and blowdown. The trail crosses 5081 in two places so be on the lookout or you'll miss the cutoff. The bottom half mile has been logged off and the trail is doubletrack that is slowly singletracking in.
