Description: This is a great trail to do if you are a beginner.
You can't help but think of the scene from "Return of the Jedi" when Luke and Leah are being chased by Stormtroopers on Speeders!! Lots of technical twists and turns, nearly missing (hopefully!) every tree in sight. The 7 mile trail is also a fun for the non-beginner as well, just add a mile and hour or two to you average speed. And there are a few surprises in store as well.
Don't ride this trail after a rain! In fact, wait at least a week after a rain to let the place dry up. It is a bummer riding here in the mud, it does not smell too nice, not to mention the trail gets really beaten up.
You won't hone your climbing skills here but you will get some practice
on your turning (avoiding trees) abilities.
Facilities:
- Gas/Food at California Crossing @ NorthWest Hwy
