Land Owner
Thin air, rocky alpine trail, ridiculous views. You don't get to ride in many places like this outside of Colorado. Lower parts are in the forest on loose and soft tread with kind of a lot of pretty rideable log crossings. The climbing is technical but not crazy. Rideable, until it's not, and then rideable again. Mostly depends on your oxygen situation. The descending is technical and fun, if not all that fast. The satisfaction is in the location and the technicality. Be comfortable threading rocky side-hill moves. Or walk them. Exposure is not much of an issue but you don't want to throw caution to the wind. And the views are A-Mazing.
