Description

Trail starts just off Settlement Canyon dirt road in a meadow at the creek crossing, veer east up canyon and follow the narrow forested singletrack climb up to Bear Trap Pass. The trail is pretty steep and there is a hike a bike section or two to get up to Bear Trap Pass, but the downhill from the pass is the payoff.
