Features Commonly Bikepacked · Views

Turn off Forest Road 144 (31 Mile Road) and go south into the trees. At the end of the road is a fence with an opening. Cross the fence and go directly downhill about 50 feet to get to VC12. Stay on the immediate road until you reach Rte 09.

The road becomes very rough and steep once passing the fence line. This can be done on a fully rigid mountain bike but something with suspension is preferable. You can potentially ride up this road, but it is very steep and loose. It's best suited to be a downhill ride.

This trail can be used as a water access route once on Forest Road 144 (31 Mile Road). Once you reach the valley floor, there is water if you travel west until you reach the San Antonio Creek.
