Dogs AllowedYes
Singletrack trail that follows the shore of Causey as it climbs up and over the ridgeline. East end of the trail puts you where you can see the salmon run at the right time of year. Used by hikers more than bikers but is a pretty fun, short ride. The east end of the trail has some steep-ish sections and a couple rocks and roots to go up and over.
Access Info
Access from the parking lot on Skull Crack Canyon Rd.
