if you take glade and cross the highway to pioneer bridal then you should come out across the street from the rhododendron village store then go down the road that parelles hyw 26 and take road 19 to lolo pass. its an easy ride with a few good clibms

yeah! why dont we ride all the way up, that'll be great fun!! if you actually have a bike that you can ride to the top of the trail, i can guarantee you that your bike is going to break on the way down. This is a full on downhill shuttle run.

Another twist to the glade trail ride. Take two vehicles, drop one off at the campground in Zigzag. Shuttle to goverment camp and ride the Glade trail up to Timberline. Continue up the mile chairlift past the warming hut to the base of the palmer chair lift, turn off (east) into the snow field and ride the snow down to the lodge (great fun!), pick the glade trail back up and ride to government camp. ride the pavement to a pullout on the right side of the road accross from the entrance to Skibowl, enter single track trail that parallels the road down to ZigZag. Sections of this trail are screamer single track and part is an old creek bed (front suspension a minimum)

This is a very worthwhile albeit challenging uphill climb. See if you can do it without putting your foot down.
