Cache to Game Creek Mountain biking

Cache Creek to Game Creek MTN biking about 10 miles one way.
Super nice trail starting in Jackson.  Parking lot trailhead is crowded with lots of users but after the first 3 miles we didn't see anyone until the last mile.  Due to our time constraints we had a shuttle car parked at the end of Game Creek.  It would be a easy 7-8 mile ride back to the Cache TH along the paved bike path if you have time.  As is was it only took us 1 and 1/2 hors to do the 10 miles.  The first 3 miles goes up an old forest service road.  At the turn off for Game Creek it gets steep and required us walking .25 miles to get to the top of the Cache/Game divide.  From there it is an awesome 6 mile downhill ride.  There aren't any root drops or rocky sections.  Just nice mostly smooth sinle track that goes pretty fast.  A highly recommended trail.  The wildflowers in the summer will make an added treat. 


You see this peak as you o up the Cache road.  Picture is taken from the Cache/Game divide.

Fall colors from the top of the divide.

Headed down Game Creek.

Looking back towards the top of the divide.

More shots after you drop down from the divide.

Nice beaver pond.

Single track goes right by it.

Ends getting down to sagebrush.  We did see a large Moose around the beaver pond, too far away for a phone pic.  Rumors of wolves in the area as well.
