This trail is starting to gain popularity for its steady but manageable climb and it’s fast, flowy and fun downhill.  Located on the western side of the Bridger mountain range, this trail is one drainage north of Truman’s Gulch boasts some incredible views of Ross peak and the valley floor below.  The trail has been recently recut (2015) and now gives the rider some room to breathe with a comfortable width single track.  The first creek crossing is at the 2 mile marker and a second crossing at 4 miles (from the parking lot at the trailhead).  Riders can also choose to park where the road meets a cattle guard and becomes steep and rough (if you have a SUV or similar vehicle you will not have any issues driving up to the parking lot, but if you don’t we highly suggest parking at the cattle guard).  Parking at the cattle guard adds a mile to each direction and approximately 500 more vertical feet.  The second creek crossing is a good place to turn around, but if you choose to continue, the trail becomes very technical (full of derailleur and rotor eating rocks) and goes all the way up to Sacagawea Saddle.
