Butcher Knife

Trail Overview

This 5-mile-long single track starts on the north end at the intersection with the Divide NRT single track, at the edge of a burn area from the 2012 Mustang Fire. It drops down from Divide NRT, meandering along a mountaintop ridgeline, through fast and flowy sections of grassy meadows. There are a few little rocks in the trail, but it's pretty smooth and easy. It gradually loses 1,000 feet of elevation over 5 miles as it heads south, so it feels pretty flat along the mountain spine. Since this trail goes along an old fire break, there's potential for tons of downed logs that need to be cut each season.
