Description
This isolated trail is a great place for a quiet ride among the wildlife and natural beauty of the White River Plateau area. The singletrack climbs steadily up through forest and mountain meadows to an overlook of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. Riders may return the way they came or continue on for several loop options. Some sections of the trail are overgrown and require caution.
