This trail is normally ridden downhill, often as part of the classic 'Twelvemile to Lime' ride. The upper trail runs through the Twelvemile Meadows, including thick sage and a large usually wet meadow. Riders "meadow-surf" down through this meadow. Stay on the crest or slightly right as you descend while finding good lines through the thick sage patches. Look to the right of the creek near the bottom of the meadow for the trail into the woods. Once in the trees the trail continues to descend along Meadow Creek and gets better and better.

This trail is open to motorcycles seasonally (5/22 to 9/7). The upper portion of this trail is within the Twelvemile Grazing Allotment. Grazing occurs in the Twelvemile Meadows unit during September of every other year.

      		 Several dozen trees down in the top portions. Needs a few hand saws or a chainsaw. Still worth it.
