Description

The best direction for riding is west to east. The initial climb is steep with switchbacks and some HAB, while the descent down the east side is amazing riding, past rock formations on good trail, passing a small pond/lake.

Eventually, trail drops off many waterbars to end up at the Eastside Stronghold campground.
