This trail is mainly used for hiking but if you really want a challenge, shift into your granny gear and prepare to crawl up the mountain. The first section of the trail goes through an Aspen grove that has plenty of traction with challenging rock where line choice is key. The second portion of the trail is on switchbacks where traction is everything, one wheel slip and all momentum is lost. Average 16% grade for all you Mountain Goats
