Trail is riding well right now and there are no reports of mud, deadfall, or snow.

This is the main connector on the south side of the Shafer Butte trail system that leads to Stack Rock Loop. It’s also the primary way people make a loop out of Eastside. After a couple of very steep switchbacks by the parking lot on Bogus Basin Road, you can expect a flowy, fun, tree-laden descent. An active logging project interrupts the singletrack, and signs direct you onto a logging road for a while, until you rejoin the singletrack for a mellow trek out to the Eastside/Stack Rock Junction.
