This trail connects Aynes Loop with the top of Bobcat. From Aynes, riders must negotiate some logover qualifiers and then enter a trail of switchbacks punctuated with some rocks. The trail eventually connects to Bobcat--to the right there's the "backwards" descent to the valley--to the left/straight riders can follow the ridge and arrive at the entrance to Bobcat Trail's challenging rocky descent.

Access Info

From the top of the Aynes Loop climb.
