Trail Description:
Nice rolling Single track that just keeps heading down. If you ever visit the Bighorn Mountains this one is worth doing. Start at the Ranger Creek Trail Head and just head North West. The trail is obvious and somewhat marked. Park your bikes about 2 miles into it and hike the 2000 vert feet up the Bear Gulch trail to get an awesome view of Shell Canyon. Park another car down at the Post Creek Picnic Ground or ride it both ways if your an animal on methanphetemines.

How to get there:
It follows Hyw 14 down Shell canyon in the Bighorn Mountains. The trail goes between the Ranger Creek TH to the Post Creek CG.

The trail also goes upstream from the Ranger Creek Trail Head at least 3 more miles until you reach the Wilderness Area Boundary. This part is great too.
