The most common uphill route on the south side of the West Bragg parking lot. It is a 2-way trail, but most people ride up it.

      Essentially perfectly dry. One or two very small wet spots easy to ride around.

      It’s mostly dry… or maybe moist with some light slop in the sheltered parts for the first two thirds. After the little knoll on the climb,...

       In pretty good condition today. Some fresh snow at the top. Fun climb!

       Jan 2, morning
      Snow too soft. Constant momentum interruptions by hikers or coming to a halt on 3/4 of the hills due to sinking or being pulled into ruts.

      Best to stick to low elevations this week with the warmer temps.

       If you want a quieter ride at the weekend use the trails to the south of the carpark. Rangers Summit yesterday was dry and in good condition.
