This used to be one of the better mountain bike rides in the state. While it still has great views during the 4000' of climbing, much of the smooth downhill is gone. A forest fire swept through the area in about 2006 and the upper section of Blue Buck is now exposed to the elements. The result has turned a smooth and fast trail into a sandy mess, and where high speeds are no longer possible. The second half of Blue Buck is unchanged, still a skinny trail on a steep hillside, and a good challenge.
On this day I ran into several black angus cows on the Cathedral Stock Driveway, and a few friendly bluegrouse hunters.
Overall I would suggest Lightning Creek as the better quality dowhill in the area.
