Overview

One of the two easiest ways to get to the top of Stevens Creek.

Description

Best as a two car shuttle. Park at the Baldy Mountain Trailhead.

Start pedaling up FSR 249 until you get to Missionary Ridge. Then take Missionary Ridge until you reach Stevens Creek. The pedal is moderate in grade and will get the heart rate up without getting too high. Dropping into upper Stevens Creek is pretty mellow and just get better as you get further down. By about half way, the trail really starts to pick up in the fun department and get more technical and faster as well. Scope the Stevens Creek description for more detail. Great route and fun descent in the Durango mid country zone.

At the top, about to shred the gnar.  Big bikes and full faces not required but are certainly handy and fun on this trail.  Hit it in the spring before the leaves pop out and make the corners blind.
