Recommended Route: Billy's got it down, you get max vert. downhill by coming down Mill D and than back up to Dog Lake. If you want the lazy way out you can stay on the crest rather than dropping into Deso/Mill D. This will get you into Millcreek w/out any additional climb. Other recommended trails in the same area: Too many to list
Review: It's a Looooooong climb up Big Cottonwood, which really can suck whenever a down canyon wind is blowing. Midday is best to avoid the wind, however you than have the sun to deal with.	Overall Rating:

Review: Looks like I am going to have to wait for snow to melt. I tried my ride last weekend and when I got to Puke hill, their was too much snow, so I couldnt even get to the crest trail. I had to come right back down the pavement. Note: Climbing up Big cottonwood is NOT FUN.	Overall Rating:
