“Solid climb connection to the Mule Trail”

— Nick Wilder
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: eMTB allowed
Dogs: Leashed

Description

From the parking lot, get your heart pumping right away for a bit of steep climbing on mostly smooth trail. There's one tight switchback, and then it mellows out and is easier until it meets Mule Deer Trail . It's blast to bomb down this one, but look out for hikers, and be careful with that last switchback!
