Description

Innie is typically ridden uphill from North Porcupine to access the now downhill-only Outie DH trail. But you can also consider it a two-way trail for its lowest 1.4 miles, as an access up to Undie trail, or a fun descent back down to North Porcupine after a full descent of Undie.

Climbing close to 1000' over just under 4 miles, Innie provides a serious, yet often pleasant climbing pitch, thanks to a series of reroute improvements completed in 2025. That said, the effort is worth it. The views along the climb are amazing and even better at the top saddle.

The trail starts with easy to moderate tread climbing through scrub oak and sage. You'll work your way back to the left and climb your first side hill. The side hill takes you over the ridge you're on, and back down into the wash on the other side. Between this wash and the next ridge, you'll climb up and up through more scrub oak, and pinion/juniper as you gain elevation..

Towards the top at the second-to-last switch back (left hand) there is a bench in honor of OZ, A major contributor to the Prince Creek trail system. The bench is off to the right but hidden so you might not see it from the trail.

Once at the saddle you can go straight, downhill, on to the recently improved Outie downhill-only trail. At the bottom of Outie, you can return to the Prince Creek side of the Crown via North Porcupine, or take Buckhorn (and Buck Down), down to the Rio Grande paved bike path.

This was not fun for me because it's overgrown with trees/shrubs. I spent most of my time ducking and dodging the large shrubs/trees over cobblestone.
