Features Technical · Views

This trail is a good ride either as a climb or a descent, though it is not designed for fast downhilling and does not have any such trail features. When ridden as a climb, it begins by skirting the north side of High Meadows, then climbs gradually northward to Monument Pass where it intersects the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT).

As the trail climbs, you'll have nice views to the south of Freel Peak. There are some challenging technical switchbacks composed of granite steps and sandy soil that will be brief hike-a-bikes for most people. From Monument Pass, Star Lake is to the right or southward along the TRT and well worth visiting.
