Trails are generally open from May - November. Please do not ride on soft trails during spring runoff as the trails are extremely vulnerable to rutting during that period.

Description

This trail cuts off from the Quaking Aspen Trail just past a small meadow with a metal structure. It first parallels the road then turns right to follow a fence line.

The trail then turns right again to follow another fence line along the edge of a meadow before dropping down through the edge of the meadow and joining up with the Turkey Nest Trail. At this point you are also very close again to the Quaking Aspen Trail.

The vast majority of the trail is gradual climbing with some descents through the ponderosa pines, though there are a couple of rocky sections as you hike past the meadow.
