June 4, 2017 at 8:58 pmJust a couple trees still down but don't let that stop you. The larger one is near the end of the lolipop stick and requires a dismount climb over unless your last name is MacAskill. The other one is in the snake section and can somewhat be ridden around although the soil at the trees base is super sketchy.

November 4, 2016 at 2:10 pmAnd another smaller tree a little bit after you start the CW loop. If you like floating over a carpet of pine needles, this is your trail!
October 23, 2016 at 8:05 pmOne big tree down about a mile from the start (from Tyler's). The tread is perfect.

Trail Description
The Duodenum is a lollypop out-and-back ride off of Tyler’s Traverse with an intestine-like hillside on the loop portion. 20 or so heavily banked corners will test your slalom skills.
The singletrack trail which connects to Tyler’s is new as of 2015, as is the up-route (an old road conversion) if you ride the loop clockwise.
The trail is 2 way trail the entire way — yet the loop portion is most often ridden clockwise.
This trail is maintained by Central Oregon Trail Alliance.
