    Windgate Pass sits between McDowell Peak and The Lookout with panoramic views in nearly every direction. The ride up is a steady climb but nothing to difficult skill wise but your legs will feel it for sure. It's multi-use so be courteous to other trail users and bring plenty of water.

      Tough climbs but great descents and views.
