The trail starts from the Deadwood Ridge trail and takes you to Deadwood Reservoir. From the start, you'll continue on the ridgeline for 1/2 mile and then you'll start climbing up to the high point of the trail. There are a number of roads that cross the trail so beware at the road crossings. These roads can also be used to avoid some of the steeper climbing.

Once at the top you'll then ride along another ridgeline and not gain a great deal of elevation. This ridgeline last about 3/4 of a mile and then you'll have a steep descent down to the Deadwood River. It is a nice long and fun descent. Once you hit the river you'll then have a mellow climb to Deadwood Dam.

There is also a hot spring in this last section along the river so keep an eye out for the steam if you want to take a quick dip.
