Need to Know

Bikes only allowed uphill, no descending Goldenrod.

Description

Goldenrod was originally only open to hikers, but with the new trail expansion in 2026 now allows mountain bikes for uphill traffic only. The first mile or so is a bit tough for bikes, with tight switchbacks and a big rock staircase that will result in hike-a-bike. Once past the stairs, the trail is a pretty mellow climb overall, with a brief steep section of doubletrack, but nice views. It allows you to extend your overall mileage at the park.
