Description

This trail can be ridden in either direction, but it really shines as a descent. From the west, the trail is almost all downhill. Near the end riders will find some of the steepest and tightest switchbacks around that make a fun addition to any ride. After these switchbacks, cross over the paved road and then through a tunnel under the highway, ending at a large parking lot that is available for parking after 5:00 p.m.

This trail is multi-directional - there is no recommended direction, so look for other riders, hikers, and runners, and yield to anybody who is climbing!
