Description

Morrison Canyon Road (or MCR) is a fantastic ride with access to nearby trails. It's used as an alternate route to the top entrance of Vargas Plateau Regional Park or whenever the weather does not cooperate for the dirt trails.

The road is narrow, but you can expect very little traffic to none at all. The climb is close to 1,000 feet, but the grade is fairly easy most of the way.
