Year Opened2017
DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED on the Mount Sproatt and Rainbow Mountain Alpine Trail Network to minimize potential conflict with wildlife.
E BIKES ARE NOT PERMITTED on these trails (i.e. anything above Flank: Lord of the Squirrels, Into the Mystic, With a Twist, On the Rocks, Happy Hour, Pot of Gold, LESS & Don't Look Back). The reason for this is to support environmental considerations, user safety and grizzly bear management in the alpine.
Less allows riders to have a less physical decent that starts from just bellow the alpine. The trail construction was just finished mid summer 2018 so its very dry and dusty along the bottom half of the route. If you can avoid riding the trail till the rains return in the fall you will enjoy it more and the trail will be in much better shape for years to come.
Additionally this will allow use early and late season when/if the alpine portion is closed due to snow and/or wet conditions.
