Land OwnerTamarack Resort
Tamarack://www.trailforks.com/trails/tamarack-traverse/]Tamarack Traverse[/L] is a great cross country option that offers a different taste than trails found in the Meadows. Trail follows and old grown in forest road bench, and slowly gains elevation on its way out to the Wildwood zone. As you work your way across the traverse views of the valley will periodically present themselves. Trail offers good flow with a couple creek crossings, and optional rock features. Great as a out and back when paired with Road 2 and the South to North Groove Loop.
Access Info
Trail is located off the north side of Buttercup Trail near the top.
