Ranger Summit South / Bobcat
A great trail with tight trees, open meadows and views of the west! A perfect grade, providing the ultimate connector between Station Flat trails and West Bragg trails.
Trail Description:
(from Ranger Summit North to Ridgeback) Take Ranger Summit to the Ranger Summit South intersection, just west of Baruch's Corner summit lounge. Drop down Ranger Summit South through a fast but tight trail in old growth and past the Sugar Mama intersection. Continue down through more old growth, before popping out into an aspen rimmed meadow and the Fullerton Loop/Bobcat intersection. This section of the trail provides some of the best views of West Bragg, with the meadow opening up and looking over the entire Elbow Valley Mountain Range. Continue across the bottom of the meadow and start back into the forest. The trail switches into a Berm Batista, serving up corner after corner until it climaxes in the bipolar toilet bowl, alternating between clockwise and counter clockwise flushes. Pass through Moo-Moo Meadows and over some bridges before intersecting with Ridgeback. From here you have several options to return to West Bragg Parking, or continue through to Station Flats Parking, or link to some of the Moose Mountain Trails. |
