This trail starts out as a ride along a forested ridgeline before descending into a low, sometimes boggy area. That wet ground means the second half of this ride may be at its best in the winter (you'll need a fat-tire bike), but watch out for winds that can blow in and sweep away any evidence of your passage from this low-lying area. As with most serious rides in Alaska, you should be prepared to be self-sufficient in the face of possible extreme weather and challenging route-finding, and follow your best judgment of whether conditions are passable or not.
