Conditions

Minor Issues 33 days ago
Trail recently graded/groomed making the climb harder to gain traction. The descent down Burma and Stage trails were almost dangerous due to the loose top cover of the trails. With the amount of turns and how fast the descent can be, it will slow down riders considerably, taking the fun out of the descent for fear of sliding out. There is one descent that you carry speed into the next climb and right after that hill is a sharp turn -- be careful. Rider beware. Otherwise dry and not dusty. History

“The last quick blast down Burma Road to Stage Road and the fun stream crossings of Pine Canyon. ”

Dogs: No Dogs

Description [Suggest Changes]

This is a short connector dropping you into Pine Canyon. Follow the trail from the road and hang left at the junction heading downhill.

Blaze down the hill around a couple of sharp corners to Stage Road. Be careful, cattle use this trail and it can be pretty rutted up and filled with cow pies.

During the wet season, get ready for standing water and mud at the bottom by Frog Pond - oh and and a chorus of frogs.
