XCOn a lucky day I caught the trail empty, however often there are several 12-30 vehicles parked at the trailhead. Ride counter-clockwise, starting with Fisher Creek Road. It begins with a narrow mountainside singletrack descent of a massive burnscape. It is not technical, smooth rolling, well maintained and beautiful. The charred forest mountain was accented by shades of sage and pastel blue in the understory. Views are amazing, and the downhill is dangerously smooth allowing for breakneck speeds. If you are in the area this is a trail you should not miss. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
