Description

There's not a lot of singletrack on St. Joseph's Hill. This trail has two singletrack sections, one connecting the north and south sides of Manzanita, and the other connecting from Range Trail to the Novitiate Trail. Neither is very technical but they have narrow lines and a few small rocky sections. If riding from south to north, the most technical part is the turn onto the downhill fire road, which is usually very rutted at that point.
