Sep 7, 2025 @ 6:49pm Sep 7, 2025 | mtb Everyone has their own definition of what mountain biking is, and what a trail is.

Sep 17, 2023 @ 10:30am Sep 17, 2023 | mtb This trail is also called Hay Flat. The trail is in great shape, no downed trees, all features rideable and still quite easy to follow. It is in urgent need of more riding so it does not eventually disappear like upper 4WD sections of the Silver Fork trail. The continuing Middle and Lower Caples Creek trails are also in perfect shape. With an easy shuttle or even pedalling up the Pack Saddle and Cody Meadow roads, there is no reason not to ride it now!! | Dry | view | ||
