It’s a tough uphill and an out and back, Jay, and that doesn’t appeal to as many people as gentle loops. But I’d agree, it’s both scenic and in my mind a top 5 descent, but it isn’t for everyone.

On a sidenote, it’s surprising how little bike traffic Green Lake gets. When I was first exploring the area I noticed most sources of beta omitted it completely. After my first ride I was blown away by that, because I was hooked. Grant it, I don’t mind the solitude, but I can’t believe such a great ride to an alpine lake, that starts right from town isn’t more highly promoted.

I thought about that, Ed. But Green Lake is so good, and a lot of the Wildcat trail is a road descent. Overall you would do a bigger, longer climb on Green Lake for a shorter descent on Wildcat (since you come out quite a ways up Kebler). Those were my thoughts, though I could see Wildcat being a fun and chunky descent.
