Description

This ride is frequently done as a shuttle by dropping off on either end and picking up on the other, but makes for a good out-and-back as well. The road is generally in good condition with one steep narrow descent down to the river.

This road provides breathtaking views and brings you away from the highway and usual travel routes. It is a perfect gravel bike road and gets you feeling deep into the mountains.

Would recommend for an XC biker trying to put in miles or see great views in a more mellow manner but wouldn't suggest as an actual MTB route. Not singletrack.
