Trail Description:
not paved. gets bushy about 4 miles so i suggest you use some pads to protect your arms ( if you think you cant take the beating ). Lots of roots to jump and slippin and slidin is a problem during rainy days. Some small creeks to cross. Lots of place to camp if you want to stay longer. Some parts are muddy esp the ones close to the rivers. Bring a camera, beautiful country side. Dont forget to hydrate, you dont wanna pass out in the middle of nowhere. Nice place for starters to learn how to get use to the slipin and jumpin. Downhills and uphills are not that much.

How to get there:
Mile 64 of the seward highway.

Additional Notes:
beware or campers, for some reason they just pop out of nowhere esp in the bushes and sharp turns.

Easy beginner trail, but we had to turn around about an hour in because the cow parsnip was too thick and the biting flies can drive you crazy!

This trai is not just good, it is excellent. There is a large variety of riding, awesome views and the just the right distance to wear you out! I have done this trail several times and will do it again many more.

Trail is not well maintained. Lots of downed trees and washed out sections. Scenery is spectacular, long ride on rough ground. Overall, it was fun.
