Not technical, however there are some hike a bike sections for me.  This has been done on a no-shocks gravel bike with wide tires and an experienced rider.  I have also done it on 42 mm tires with shocks. 

Plan on late start such as ~ 11:15 am from Buffalo Creek TH 39.38663, -105.27436. Can carpool from PNR.  Plan on 4 hours on trail.
