Land OwnerMedicine Bow-Routt National Forest
The top part of this trail is like most of Happy Jack: a little rutted, pretty straight, and fast. The bottom section was redone in 2018 to replace some unsustainable, fall-line trail with flowy, sustainable trail with some berms, rollers, and rock features. Fun both directions
