Buffalo Soldier Trail is a lollipop loop that can be ridden in either direction. The trail is mostly fast and smooth, with one small section of rocks just as you come to the top of the ridge. This is a good addition to other MTB trails out of Grand Targhee Resort. It offers up some of the best views of the Tetons.Courtesy of MTBProject.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
