Old Main Divide (Santiago Peak Singletrack) June 2024 Conditions

Old Main Divide (Santiago Peak Singletrack) is a singletrack off the backside of Santiago Peak that connects back into Main Divide. This trail is misnamed in Strava incorrectly as "Upper Joplin" (which is actually on Modjeska Peak). Hikers coming up from Joplin often will use Upper Joplin as a short cut to the summit, rather than walking the switchbacks of the Main Divide. Mountain bikers that summit will use Upper Joplin as a fast chunky descent back, before descending Joplin proper. These are the trail conditions in June 2024, and as you can see, Upper Joplin has become quite overgrown.
