Tabegauche (pronounced \"Tab-uh-watch\") is the spine-trail of the Lunch Loops, connecting the trails together. Starting from the TH Tabegauche climbs gently to the Pet-e-Kes/Moto turn-offs, then becomes more aggressively steep and occasionally riddled with boulders that range in size from cookies to cantaloupes. But don't be dissuaded, best-lines are obvious, particularly if you need a fast down back to the main TH. Be aware that Tabegauche is a favorite for hikers and trail runners, who have the right of way.
