A very scenic and varied ride, strongly suggested if you have some time in the area to explore different out-of-the-way rides!

Prepare for a long day out with more food and water than you think you'll need.

Casto Canyon Trail #33089 to Losee Canyon Trail #33090 is a little bit like a figure-8. There is a similar loop with the ascent on Losee Canyon Trail #33090 and the "downhill" on Casto Canyon Trail #33089 but to me that makes no sense, because Losee is a very flowy trail that is better downhill than climbing, and Casto is also used by ATVs (it's not singletrack - so the first 9 km are dirt road and gravel - when leaving Casto Canyon you'll ride singletrack only) and therefore best for a very moderate ascent.

I have also included parts of Cassidy Trail #33093 and Rich Trail #33092 the figure-8 to get as many possible views from the different landscapes and viewpoints of that magnificent Canyon. The distance was around 31.7 km with a riding time of 3 hours 46 minutes. Due to lots of photos stops it was a "full day" ride. I would rate it intermediate with two short sections of difficult/advanced.
