Our route: We staged at Council Lake, went to Summit Prairie, #261 to Juniper Peak and Tongue Mtn./#294, #270 to #272, down #271 by Mouse Lake, and finished at Adam's Fork Campground and took gravel road back to Council Lake. This was a total of 69.75 miles, which was mostly advanced single track - an epic adventure!

This is one of those places you have to ride at least once in your lifetime - trust me!
