Morningstar is a fun intermediate downhill singletrack at Bogus Basin. It zigzags across the hillside, with a nicely sculpted berm on each turn and various optional wooden ladders along the way. Also, it’s very shuttle-friendly because you can drive up the paved road to Pioneer Lodge and hop right onto Morningstar. Many folks use Morningstar as the final descent after a loop Around the Mountain.
