    Upper Mission Ridge

    Totally rideable. But…The trail looks like an angry yeti came through and knocked over a bunch of trees and kicked rocks all over the place in order to bring it back to the wild. So be prepared for Rollie pollie rocks, sniper branches, holes from uprooted trees. Fortunately some trail heroes did a lot of work so it is rideable. Just not full speed.

    A most excellent trail! Climbed Devil's Gulch>Mission Ridge>Red Devil and back to car. 25 miles/5K elevation. Mission Ridge best done as a descent.

    Brushed out the top half today. The lower section still needs lots of brushing, but is all rideable
