Description

The first half mile of Vistamont, coming off of Gilman Mountain, is steep but on a good trail. The trail levels out and becomes rolling singletrack before crossing Clark Creek and climbing up to the junction with the Clark Trail and on to the end of this trail at the Holt Trail.

This descent is also part of the Mt. Cardigan Super Loop!
