This route combines two quality loops into one classic ride. It links a rolling traverse along the Big Wood River with swooping singletrack in the hills, topped off with incredible views of the valley and surrounding peaks. With the exception of the wide trail along the river, it’s all hardpack singletrack that’s mostly smooth, with some rockier sections and creek crossings for technical elements. There’s a nice mix of forest and flower-filled meadows, but for the most part you can expect sun-exposed slopes. It’s a good ride for most levels, but the elevation gain will make you work!
