I hike this trail in February, which is still winter. This is also a canyon trail so expect to see lots of snow and ice on the trail this time of year.

Sections of trail that do get sun are extremely wet and muddy this time of year. I would advise against riding this trail until the trail hardens. Knowing this I decided to hike the trail instead of riding my bike; saving the trail from a lot of damage and me from hours of bike cleaning.
