Would someone be able to tell me where it begins? I've hiked most of it to try to find out where the start is, but it was getting a little late so I didn't get to the top.

I suppose of people want to trail hoard to help themselves feel badass then they don't have to tell me, but I would be grateful for the info.

Thank you :)

Also, what do people think of it? I found the old thread about it from 5 years ago and came to the realization that some people hate this trail (patrolskid haha), and some people love it. So try to spare the harsh words.

It's buried under five feet of snow.

its on a map somewhere, do some digging, and it ain't ready by a long shot, way too much snow, meaning way too much mud…..maybe by the end of July…..

I think there's truth here. I can appreciate that some people want to keep trails secret, but sometimes I get the feeling that people harp about keeping a certain trail off the radar so they can identify themselves as part of an "in group", and possibly a more serious and invested rider than others who don't know where the trail is.

I guess in the case of RDS, one can supposedly easily access it from the Bike Park, so it could potentially get a lot of traffic / erosion if the directions get posted. Same goes for SOH which gets ridden passed thousands of times per season ;)

Is SOH even a viable route anymore? I was told to pass on it nowadays.
