We did a 2 hour trail ride that left from the McDonald lodge area and followed along McDONALD creek. Very pretty ride through dense forest which opens up along the creek. Good ride for inexperienced riders.

Every year we trek to McDonald creek and marvel at how clean it is and how beatiful it is. A must see!
