Summary:
This trail is rated as the "primo" trail by the locals who ride the Priest Lake trails. It is not too technical but challenging none the less. The first two miles drop down to the lake level through old growth forest, sidehills along the lake, and sandy beaches. It then climbs back up for the next two miles or so on rocky sidehill trail and continues along the shore for a half mile or so before it once again descends down to lake level. It crosses five creeks along the way and offers a little bit of every kind of terrain from mud to rocks to tree roots to sand to pine needle covered single track trail. A most enjoyable ride and well worth the trip up to Priest Lake.

Recommended Route:
I like to ride this trail end to end starting at the Granite Creek entrance. Ride north to Beaver Creek, turn around and do it all over again from the north. Also it can be ridden in conjunction with the Navigation trail which starts at the north end of this trail.
