Suggested Ride Direction is West to East, starting at the Hwy 27 Trailhead. Advanced and intermediate riders can expect a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hour ride, Beginners 4 hours plus. 100% single track trail with moderately steep and narrow trail. A little bit of Hike-a-Bike, and a lot of fast and fun trail. Lots of ridge top riding through the Irons Fork Scenic Area.
