Description

This is one of the friendliest climbs at Coe. It was re-routed a few years ago and while the trail is still a big climb, it is pretty gradual. There are great views at the top and it easily links into the Spike Jones Trail for a fairly quick (in Coe terms) loop.

For a longer ride continue past onto Steer Ridge Road to Wilson Peak for a descent on the WIlson Peak Trail or Serpentine Trail to Grizzly Gulch Trail and back. Of course Henry Coe is a big place so you can go as far and long as your legs will take you.
