Admittedly their website person got lazy and made a promise they couldn't keep.

The trail going in was very whooped out a couple weeks ago. There are some shortcuts across the switchbacks, but on your first trip there I would recommend against them, they can be super slippy and hazardous.

Once in the area, if you stay north you'll end up on the south side of the east-west ridge that puts the north border on the area. At the bottom of this ridge is a series of lakes. You can follow the lakes west, but there comes a point where I've heard you don't want to continue going west as it becomes very difficult to get out. You can ride a bit north from the lakes, climb the ridge in a few spots, especially at the far west. And you can ride south from the lakes, across another set up ridges. The south riding continues until you don't think you can get out if you kept going, though its mostly a gradual steepening.

Almost no detail, but better than nothing, this map at least gives a rough look at the shape of the area.

can get into some good tree riding and meadows, no real big climbs. about 13km trail then single track through the trees unless you know where your going to get in. used to like riding there now it sees to much action that the trail is absolute garbage 3ft + whoops right from the truck.
