Description

This trail is often just called "The Switchbacks", because that's really all it is, switchbacks going up the south side of the M Hill. This trail is good for both ascending and descending, and even makes up part of the official Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. The top of the trail is accessed from the lookout pad underneath the big letter M. The very bottom (South) and of the trails comes out at N Ophir St, at a small wooden park entrance.
