This trail system offers about 50 miles of challenging single track trails. The trails are mostly smooth and hardpacked but are geared for the advanced rider due to steep climbs and narrow ridge tops with long dropoffs.
Most of trails follow creeks and offer some nice mountain and forest views. Some of the trails are open year-round but Red Hill, Tronsen Ridge and Tronsen Meadow trails close seasonally beginning October 15 through June 15 for elk calving season.
