A natural extension from Alp Elkhorn that brings riders back closer to the trailhead. It can be easily extended by taking the Alpine valley second loop for a fuller ride.

Access Info

Continues directly from Alp Elkhorn (most riders won't notice any transition) and ends near the AVR Service Road where riders can bail to return to the car park or continue up Skills Mark (you will end up on this if you keep following where the trail goes, there is not a clear transition or split).

Disclaimer

Trail has some more extreme features but all can be avoided or rolled over.

Small tree blocking the trail about 6-8 inches in diameter. A small handsaw would clear it, but I didn’t bring one.
