Description

To get to the official start of La Milagrosa, you need to first begin with a miserable hike-a-bike up about 500 vertical feet over a little less than a mile to the top of the ridge on the Bellota AZT. Then continue down on the Bellota AZT until roughly the 2.5 mile mark where you'll come to a junction. La Milagrosa official begins to the right heading south. Or you can continue to the east on Bellota AZT all the way to Reddington Road.

That said, La Milagrosa is a fun, fast, technical, gnarly, rocky downhill that can easily throw you over the bars if you're not prepared. If you're wondering if you should suffer through the initial hike, the answer is yes. It's a great ride definitely worth doing at least once a season.

If you're not careful you can easily miss the trail as it heads south from the AZ trail. Shortly after you get on the Milagrosa trail stay to your left otherwise you will find yourself in a small canyon with no place to go. Oct 16, 2016
