Review: This trail scores very high on the remote and beautiful scale, but not quite as high on the ridability scale. There are constant rocks, often at insane grades (although the steepest grades are short). There is also a good deal of route finding required (especially if riding from east to west, the preferred direction). The lake is gorgeous and isolated, but hard to reach from either side. All in all, this is a good adventure ride, especially if you don't mind dismounting once in a while. It does make an excellent leg in a mega loop from Vail.
