Took a trip over to Jackson to try this trail out the other day. I've been wanting to ride it for quite some time now but never had the pieces all fall together. Reviews and some youtube videos on it all looked to good to pass up. I was right. Way to fun of a downhill to pass up. It is out of the way but well worth the trip. Starts out with a long ridable climb up a forest service road. Lasts for a little over 3 miles. The trail then cuts off to the left for some of the best singletrack descents around. You start out in some Aspens move through pine trees break out into the open hillside then back into aspen dropping you out into the sagebrush. Trail changes just as much. Smooth flowy track mixed it with some nice root drops, tight S turns, and some rock for good measure.
Take a right on Antelope Flats road just north of the Moose WY exit. When you come to the end of the road take a left. Follow it until you pass a large house on your right. Then look for a large camping/parking area. There is a forest service trail marker there. Ride the forest service road about 3 miles to the top, trail is on the left. When you get to the bottom of the single track you run into double track. Ride it out towards the power lines then turn left and head back to your vehicle.

Greetings! Thanks for the info. Always looking to explore new rides. How many miles was the Shadow Mt ride? On your map, did you go counter clockwise?
Thanks!

I think it was about 7 total. Downhill is only about 2.5/3. The rest is riding up a forest service road. Ride goes counter clockwise up the road the downhill is the top section of the map outline. I haven't made it up yet this year but have heard its good.
