Description

The trail can be accessed from multiple locations but the best spot to park is at the Patrick House trailhead. Take the Chief Hosa exit off I-70, turn left toward the Chief Hosa campground, crossing over I-70, take your first left and head toward the Patrick House trailhead. The Genesee Mountain Trail can be accessed from two locations from the Patrick House parking lot. Start out with a dirt road climb and connect with Genesee Mountain Trail for a fast and flowy downhill. Counter clockwise is definitely the way to go.

Rode the trail counter clockwise, which was nice as most of the climbing was done on the dirt road. Fun trail, good for beginners. 7mi
