Some cool old mines along the way that are worth pausing and appreciating.

Description

Spencer Creek is as close as you'll get to riding in the Swiss Alps around here. A chunky descent with fast downhill sections that end at stunning mountain lakes surrounded by wildflowers. This trail connects the lakes basin to Lavezolla to descend the entire way into Downieville. A true epic loop that gets you out and away from the classic Downieville downhill. Don't ride this if you're not confident in large rock gardens and being very remote.
