This trail is mostly a gravel/dirt road but goes through some excellent stands of aspen trees. Colors were amazing and it has some excellent views. Upper sections of trail are harder but not difficult. Good trail recommended during fall.

Great trail and stunning once you get above tree line. A lot of mountain bikers but not a lot of vehicles. Great trail and great view!
