Trail Overview

This is a fun trail along the edge of Union Park before climbing through the trees. It passes an old mining cabin that is known as the Christmas Cabin. It is decorated with Christmas decorations year round. The trail becomes rocky as it climbs through the trees. There are places to ride up the side banks to get an adrenaline rush. The trail becomes less rocky at the top as you drop into the Tin Cup Basin. Watch for moose along the route.

I don't know who gave this a green rating but, going through Slaughterhouse Gulch is not something you want to do with a full-width vehicle... or at least one you care about. I'd say this is more like a dark blue for a good solid 3 mile stretch. I managed to make it through with a 4x4 sprinter thinking it was a regular green. I would definitely reevaluate this one in the context of other greens on the map.
