One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.

Description

This is a downhill only trail. Only bikes are permitted. DO NOT attempt to hike or ride up this trail! The upper Chutes starts from Gold Camp Road and is comprised of drops, tables, armored berms, and a LOT of rocks. This section is rather short and can be skipped by taking the Ladders trail to the lower Chutes intersection.

The rest of the trail is a solid blue with fun jumps, tables, and fun berms! There is a cattle guard at the bottom of the trail that marks the end. From this point you can turn back onto Chamberlain and grab some more laps! Or you can can take one of the multiple trails to either head towards the Ridgeway lot or down into the canyon.

The ride up is a little tough, just keep pumping. Biked up to gold camp road by way of chamberlain trial & then cruises down the chutes. Fun ride 2.8mi — 1h 00m
