Lesser known than the Crescent Lake trail on the other side of the Lake, Carter Lake is a worthy ride A push up to the plateau where you ride past Carter Lake to Crescent Lake, it's a fun ride down to the car! Wide, but flowy, and with the option to carry speed and make it more technical on the way down than it would seem at first glance!
